May 13 Unsettled Weather and Coconut Bread on Green Turtle Cay

Today was cloudy and squally. The first of the rains arrived at 3:30 in the morning but we seemed to escape the lightning and thunder. After breakfast, all was quiet with winds 5-10 knots out of the SE. We didn’t let threatening skies deter us from going ashore and so we walked the little town center on Green Turtle Cay town and met a most friendly man, JR, who had lived on the island his entire life and who guided us to “Sid’s” for fresh bread. We had a choice between plain and a coconut variety of bread and bought a loaf of the latter along with a small token gift from the Bahamas. We then hiked to the beautiful Gilliams Bay Beach but as the weather was threatening rain, we didn’t have long to enjoy the beach before heading back to Juno and arriving at the boat just as the rain began. Our lunch consisted of peanut butter and jelly on white coconut bread which made for a nice twist on the usual PB & J and afterwards, we set off for Crab Cay with just a jib.

Harry seems to be onto something

Yep! He found the beach at Gillams Bay
