MOW and GTC pics.

Caught another mahi!

These guys joined us on the trip from Man of War to Green Turtle. 

MOW town map.

MOW seems to be an affluent working community.  This house is in town.  

MOW street.  Ken would appreciate the manicured lawns, and lack of trash.  

Note the Union Jack.  They never got over independence!  

MOW harbor.

Albury is a common name on MOW, and I gather they own most of the town.  Albury ferry service, sail shop, boat builders, etc.  They are flying the correct flag!

One of the Albury boats that are made in MOW.

The infamous Whale Passage.  To travel from Hopetown to Green Turtle and beyond, one must traverse The Whale Passage, which is open to the Atlantic and because it is shallow, can be quite rough.  Each morning on the VHF, conditions are given for The Whale.  It was not bad when we came through, but a few days ago a sailboat's rudder came off in The Whale, and it nearly sank.  It was towed into the marina next to us.  

Black Sound, Green Turtle Cay.  Moondance is on the left, and Calypso is the blue sailboat to the  right .  

New Plymouth, on Green Turtle Cay, has erected several public dingy docks to access town.  They cater to boaters, a large source of the town's revenue.  

New Plymouth, which is not dry.  It also is a pretty town, but with many more restaurants than MOW.  

Even the graveyard is impeccable.  

One of the local establishments.  The fried lobster and conch wrap were great!

The Abacos are father north than the Exumas, and subject to more cold fronts, such as this one.  We have had to break out our jackets.  One night was in the upper 50s!!
