Anchored at Green Turtle Cay!  I figured since the tropical weather has been pretty benign I would head back north across one of the Ocean cuts to these islands again.  I've been here for a few days now and the wind has been out of the West, leaving me exposed to the Sea of Abaco.  It has been a little bouncy but the anchor is buried deep and holding strong.  Winds should come out of the East soon and I'll be sitting pretty.

The aerial photo shows pretty accurately how few people are in the anchorages.  In fact, most of the boats in the water are just being stored.  I am probably one of three liveaboards left near Green Turtle.  

No worries.  I'm like a 2-minute dinghy ride from my favorite bar in the Abacos.  

Well it has been a fairly quiet week or two.  Bopped back over to Marsh Harbour and visited the Department of Immigration...that was a treat.  I have been granted another 90 days stay until I'm required to request another extension on my permit.  Always pays off good to run a comb through your hair, say "yes sir", "yes mamn", "please and thank you".

It is officially the middle of hurricane season and tropical disturbances continue to form all over the Atlantic.  It has been a mild season thus far, but it is always good to remember that hurricane Sandy blew through in LATE October just a couple years ago.  Keeping fingers crossed for sure...

Money is becoming increasingly tight.  Frequent visits to bars is my primary issue since your average beer is $5-6 and up.  Groceries also continue to kill my wallet.  I spent $12 the other day on two cans of evaporated milk and a dozen eggs.  Ouch.  The simple solution is to eat more conch, cook lots of rice, and buy booze instead (much cheaper).

TODAY ANOTHER CRUISER GAVE ME A NEW POWER INVERTER!!! This means I can use my computer more frequently and I hope to post to the blog on a more regular basis (I don't know how many times I have said that in the past, but this will be a huge improvement).  I also hope to continue posting pictures and videos to Facebook regularly.

For those who are not on Facebook, here are the links to some videos.
