Turkey Greetings from Green Turtle Cay! Buccaneer and I are enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of Green Turtle. We are thankful to Mother Nature for the protective White Sound, where we are anchored as this cold front comes through. The seas are quite stirred up. We listen to the Chris Parker each morning on the single side band radio, he gives detailed forecasts and advice to those in the States wishing to cross to the Bahamas and to those already here. Today, for the first time, he asked for folks to take photos of the ocean on Friday morning in the Abacos- it will be a "spectacular sight". Not sure what to think about a weather guy saying such things, but we will check it out from the safety of the beach. We hope go around Whale Cay on Monday to meet Patti in Marsh Harbour! It is really up to Mother Nature if we do or not. Going around Whale exposes us to the ocean as well as a narrow cut between islands and coral heads. Keep calm ocean thoughts for us and safe travel thoughts for Patti! There are quite a few boats here in Turtle, more arriving each day. We have met fantastic folks from the Bahamas, US, Canada and Europe. We will be spending Turkey day enjoying the New Plymouth downtown and then settling in for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with 4 of our new friends!
Enjoy the photos!
Happy Thanksgiving- wishing everyone a wonderful day with family and friends. Cliff & I are very thankful for each of you!
Much Love,
The Pearl

| Later the same day, at Green Turtle Club- notice the empty cups and dollars all over the walls! The dollar bill tradition was started with the Club's inception, when retired World War II fighter pilots would hang signed bills as a token for future friends that may visit The Club to have a drink "on them". |
