Off to Treasure Cay

One very choppy morning sail later, we had moved ourselves down to Treasure Cay.  We didn’t want to stay at Green Turtle Cay as the snorkeling isn’t that great and there is nothing to do on land.  My review of green turtle is there is really no need to get off the boat at all as you just spend money with very little in return and with the bugs and green water, why bother?  They have a nice beach or two and that’s it.  It was a good stop over, but I am glad we left.  Surprisingly, there were very few people there.  It’s great the Bahamas wasn’t as crowded as I thought they would be. 

Tell me though, why is it when are sailing a not so nice stretch of water, do half the paper towels come off the roll?  There are things about a boat I am not sure I will ever understand.  Now, mind you, I am glad that is ALL that happened since I had to take a seasick med and lay down while Ron handled the boat but really – half the roll?  I guess with the wind kicking up to 20mph, what do I expect.  OK, another pet peeve.  What is with the starboard and port?  Hello, right and left people.  I have yet to get those straight.

I picked up a mooring ball without much drama for the next few days and we were set to wait out the weather.  We went ashore to check in at the marina and low and behold…there is no marina.  Treasure Cay has been completely wiped out by the pandemic and hurricanes.  There is NOTHING here.  It is creepy in a post-apocalyptic way.  We walked and found Treasure Cay beach and next to Cow Wreck beach, it is the most beautiful I have ever seen and completely deserted.  Tomorrow we wanted to visit an inlet close by with turtles and baby stingray, so we settled in for a quiet night.

Ron has added a new twist to his quasi-keto diet.  He now has SpaghettiOs with weird little hotdogs in it.  I like to refer to it as O’s and Toe’s.  He really has to start eating less canned meat.  Good thing on land we found an excellent bakery who also serves the best pizza either of us have had in a long time!!  Fresh mozzerella with HUGE chocolate chip cookies.  Can’t go wrong there.

It might be deserted but the views are still incredible

About Ron C

Hi, I'm Sally and this is my husband, Ron. I’ve been doing marketing for the last 30 years for tech companies and Ron is a biomedical engineer. Basically, he knows what he is doing and well, I don't. However, the yin and yang of our relationship is total bliss. We decided after 10 years of marriage, the joy of suburbia, and years of travelling, that this was for us. So, we saved, retired, and this is our story. We’ve taken trips to Costa Rica and love it. Nowhere on earth can you see that many masonry animal statues and not a pothole crew in site. Beautiful. Then there was Jamaica where the night before we left, I broke my big toe and was not able to go into the water. Instead, we experienced the most amazing singing bartender while drinking "Shit on the Grass." No lie. Then there was British Virgin Islands where we chartered a boat three times. Twice with just us and the final time with our 4 daughters. Man, there is no better way to hear your kids complain than in a space that small. That was some quality family time there. Now we are empty nesters, we have purchased a Leppard Catamaran and you are invited to come along for the ride. Should be a total hoot.
