Greenwood Beach Resort Cat Island

... the housekeeping&#8230; Their fun! Then we went to the pool&#8230;. Then I started writing this&#8230; so ya&#8230; dats it&#8230;Oh and I had Ben and Jerry&#8217;s ice cream. It was good. Oooh and we saw what we think is a buoy in the water&#8230; BUT WE AREN&#8217;T SURE! Anyway&#8230; see yaJ <br><br>Juiceness/Jessica :D <br><br>Well, the waters did not improve as of this morning, but by mid-afternoon they were much better. It&#8217;s taking longer than I had hoped to ...

... aquamarine water... we were also greeted by the local stingray..... and a little historical tour of the island..... and a moment on a sandbar.... This is privately owned cay (pronounced as key) ... 44 of them owned by one person. <br><br>I would say this is one real Bahamas......

On our way to the island tour, we were welcomed by a friendly stingray and gave us the experience of being suctioned by its mouth as we tried to feed him. But then, he realized that we don't have any food for him so eventually, he left but gave us the knowledge of not fearing them. They are gentle creatures of the sea.

A different kind of experience... feeding shark in broad daylight.....shoreside.....<br><br>Free port has one at Pier One, but you are like so high above the waters and in the evening. So all you are seeing are but splashes made by the shark as they feed. <br><br>Here, you will see the entire length of the shark under the very crystal clear waters, just one meter high.<br><br>

... case bread and feed it to them. Then a frenzy begins, in which the fish swarm you in search of goodies, the odd finger or body part might get involved in it, but no blood is drawn..... We also had the pleasure of dining at the yacht club where most of us had the Bahamian favourite, Conch Burger which comes in small battered pieces and tastes similar to calamari. Very Yummy. Much to Tom and Harri's disappointment this is where O'Vive left us to head for home, their company sorley missed.

Living on a boat you'd expect to get a bit wet but it's actually something we try and avoid unless we are actually swimming but this week we've had no hope. After leaving the Turks and Caicos we made an overnight run to Rum Cay (very pretty but quiet) and then a day sail the next to try and reach George Town before a series of bad weather fronts set in. The trip from Rum Cay to George Town was lively but no problem for Bella, the hard part was getting thru the cuts between the ...

... island. Staniel Cay sailors are recognized as some of the best in the Bahamas with the famous local A Class Sloops, The Lady Muriel and Tida Wave and a growing fleet of C Class sailors as well. Community hosts New Years Day Regatta and local C Class races, National Bahamas Sunfish Regatta is hosted here in August. We passed the cemetery and one grave was heavily decorated ...

... on a secluded, 3 mile beach which extends to Alligator Point. Pigeon Creek is a large salt water inlet which is behind the house and runs parallel to the beach. Pigeon Creek opens to the sea at Alligator Point and provides for exceptional kayaking in calm waters. You can kayak from behind the Boathouse, out to the sea at Alligator Point, &amp; then back to our ...

... while the others went ashore. When I had finaly finished all my chores ( woe , woe, and thrice woe ! )I went to get the tender. As I was walking along the open deck to get there I couldn't help but notice that the sea was more than a little choppy. The tenders were bobbing about quite a bit. I was in 2 minds as to whether to go or not. In the end I decided I would as I had arranged to meet H at 11 ( it was now 10.45 ) and he would worry if I never turned up ...

... the a self catering apartment which sat directly on a really quiet beach front. Named "The Laughing Bird Apartments" the place was lovely and the owners Jean and Dan were equally nice with cheerful conversation every time you passed by. Theirs was a nice story; with Dan (from England) having come to the Bahamas as an government architect over thirty five years ago... he was only meant to be on the islands for a few years and ended up staying for good ...
