Day 4, destination Green Turtle Cay

It is Tuesday morning. I know this only because my vitamins are in one of those weekly organizers. We awake to a partly cloudy sky. I make coffee, oatmeal with raisins, brown sugar and butter for me and eggs and buttered bread for Mark. We have no refrigeration on the boat. We are using up what perishables we bought in Florida. We had them in the boat cooler with ice but the ice kept melting so fast. We realized that the sea water was coming in the cooler on a port tack. The water is about 84* and melting what we have.  So we are eating ham meat, cheese and eggs that  have not been refrigerated for 3 days now. Pray for strong stomaches.
We got into LG and motored to the dock in Fox Town. We are on a mission for fuel for NG. We have an outboard motor on NG, 9.9 hp, that helps to push us along. We feel that this is whimpy and we should rely on our sails. But this area is so big and you are in the open ocean, you would never get any where if you relied only on the wind. Regular gasoline is $6.25 a gallon. Deiesel is cheaper here. It costs $40 to fill 2 tanks. That will last us  a 1/2 gallon of fuel per hour. The gas station was run by a mom and pop. They were a 60 year old Bahamian couple  We chatted with her for a while. She showed me all their Bahamian paper money. They are so colorful and there are beautiful artistic  scenes that are different on each denomination. 
I tried to hook up to wifi to send my first couple of posts here but the signal wasn't strong enough. Green Turtle Cay is supposed to have wifi so I am trying to get caught up by then.
We got back to NG, put LG on the bow and set sail at 10 am for Green Turtle Cay. The first place we pass along the way is Coopers Town, it is a straight line on the ocean of brightly colored houses. Just what you would think of when you think Bahamas. Lilac, yellow, orange, turquoise, pink and hot pink, sand  and lime green. There is a pyramid behind it all. Anyone want to search that for us on the internet and tell us what this is? It looks so out of place in this charming settlement.
The sail over was great in the morning but soon we were caught in some horrific thunderstorms that started to have lightening. A sailboat with a large metal mast sticking out the top of it is not the best place to be. I lowered the sails, Mark set the auto pilot and we both went below to ride out the storm. It is very unsettling being in a boat below, going full forward and not being able to see where you are headed. This is even worse, in my opinion, than sailing at night. We went through three of these storms. The first storm tore our main head sail 10' long from the luff. That is really not good. I brought that sail down and put up our storm sail to continue on. We messaged Cindy, a sailing mentor, and asked her to send some sail repair tape to the office so that Rachel can bring it with her on her trip over from the states. She will be here come tuesday morning.  Can't waIt to have her aboard.
We made it to Green Turtle Cay around 7:30. We made some dinner and hunkered in for the evening, wet again.
