A collection of pictures from Green Turtle Cay, Donnie's Docks, and the Manjack / Crab Cay anchorage.
We took a dinghy exploration trip up a creek that runs between Manjack and Crab Cays. We were tol there were a bunch of green turtles up there and we were not disappointed. We saw over a dozen of them, but they moved too fast to catch on film. There is one hiding in one of these pictures if you can find him.
| A pirate ship anchored in Black Sound next to Donnie's Docks and there was a guy dressed up as a pirate on it. Our grandsons would have gone simply bonkers over this. |

| This jelly fish floated by our boat. Not sure what type it is because it's not in my nature book. |
| The azaleas in New Plymouth at Green Turtle Cay are amazing. |
| An interesting cat ketch we saw in the harbour at New Plymouth on Green Turtle |
| This was taken through 3 feet of water from the surface. It's impossible to describe how clear the water is here. |
| There was no wind on our way out of Green Turtle. This is 13 feet deep water. |
| There are hundreds of catamarans everywhere down here. |
| Can't see the anchor in this picture? Yeah. That's why we love our Mantus anchor. |

| We motored all the way to the end of the creek in the mangroves and then drifted back with oars in the quiet. |
| At the very end there was this small pond with a 43 foot sailboat. It must be a centerboard with shallow draft because the creek is less than 3 feet deep even at high tide in some places. |
| And the weirdest thing to ever find on a beach award goes to...the plastic piggy bank. |
| Not sure what these are either. I need a new guidebook! |
| Kintala at anchor in Manjack / Crab |
| This bird landed about 5 feet from Tim. He was very curious. Any takers on the type? |
| The water here still looks like modern art to me. This is clumps of sea grass through 2 feet of rippling water |

I don't know birds, but the round thing with the "five-petalled" marking is a sand dollar shell. Relative of starfish, nearer relative of sea urchin. They're not only found in warmer waters, but closer to home, also.
Jeffrey I thought that at first but these are very thick, almost an inch, and any sand dollars I've ever seen were thin.
It's a Bahamian sand dollar, you know, Inflation hit it!
It is a sea biscuit.
