There is a navigational challenge called Whale Cay that requires good weather before we can move farther south. The weather forecast was beginning to look like we’d be able to go around it in a couple of days. We were going to have a couple of pretty calm nights, so we decided it was time to leave Green Turtle Cay and go anchor out for a couple of nights. The winds would be calm, and this would give the Atlantic ocean a couple of days to calm down before we go out into it to move south. So – Island Girl, One Eye Dog, and Rising Tide went north just a bit, back up to Manjack Cay where we previously anchored for one night. Manjack is pronounced Munjack or sometimes Nunjack due to changes over time. The cay only has a few houses on it.
Right when we were getting ready to set our anchor, a sea turtle popped his little head up and said hello to us! (Well, I’m assuming it was hello, since I don’t really talk turtle.) He was only a few feet from the boat. It was such a great greeting!
