Returning stateside

Sun May 1st 2022 - Bugger, Muti was so quiet now that our friends have returned to the real world. With a pending family visit looming    in Washington DC later in May we began our return passage. First stop was Green Turtle Cay, after ‘shooting the Whale’. The Whale is a cut in the reef which can get pretty treacherous; it was pretty benign for our    traverse.

Nobody waved at us as we cruised past in our beat up rubber dinghy; no evidence of Dorian here! We are still amazed at how friendly the local folks are, always quick to smile and engage if prompted with conversation. One older gentleman working in a nursery walked with us    to show us the correct path; we were lost and asked directions. Who knew Google maps doesn’t work everywhere. Finally left Great Guana Cay   heading back to Marsh Harbor to pick up our dear friends,  the Enslin’s, who will be joining us
