Day 6, Green Turtle Cay

It didn' t get better, it got worse. It is now 90%  chance of rain and they say they say not to cross the  Whale cut. Ok. So we ventured over to the dock to pay for another day and got caught in another HUGE thunder and lightening storm. We were on the dock with " dock master" Kevin. He was a little quiet and cocky at first but he warmed right up to me after a bit. He was showing me all of the pictures on his phone. But it all started out with The Pigs. He had told us they had flown in some pigs to put onto No Name Island next to Pelican Cay. It is a great place to go diving/ snorkeling. We headed out there in the dinghy and had a great time snorkeling. We tried to get some conch but we had to find them with a lip on the shell to be able to harvest them. Dang, ours were too small. How far out do we have to go? We did see 2 stingrays. That was pretty cool.
Kevin gave us a tour of Green Turtle Cay. He has 13 brothers and sisters and they are all on the island but one. He is very proud of his heritage and has many family members here. We walked around the island some more taking more pictures. This is a beautiful place. They rent licensed golf carts for people to drive around. The streets are only wide enough for one car so everything is one way, done in a circle pattern. We had lunch at his 2 sisters place called 2 Shortys. Really good food and a good price. There is also free wifi with the password that they give you, which is, password.
He is in the best band on the Abaco Island called the Gully Roosters. They say wherever the Roosters are playing there is a good time.  He invited us to hear him play at the Leeward Marina. We had a fabulous time dancing and visiting. He gave us a copy of his cd.
