We arrived in Marsh Harbor
yesterday afternoon about 2pm.
The motor down from Green Turtle Cay was thankfully uneventful. We made it through Whale Cut at high tide with minimal turbulence and enjoyed a leisure day of it. After the circle and twist through all the other boats we finally got a spot big enough to anchor in. (it's a pretty crowded harbor) then we cleaned up and went to shore. Yesterday was the Love Rush Junkanoo. (Google it) I'm still not sure what i saw and i was there. It's a city wide parade, competition, with bands, costumes and dancing. The 3 different groups very slowly seemed to crawl down the street 'performing' for the Judges and crowds. You cant begin to appreciate how loud the drums, bells and whistles were. Lots of color and pageantry with feathers and 'music.' 
I had wild boar and a baked potato for dinner. Yum.
Question Sister Lynn writes:
Hi, I'm enjoying following along on your trip! I hope you got some pics of the tiny looking islands as you stayed nearby. I'm curious about them. Any inhabitants?
I wonder if you're getting into more boat traffic as you get closer to Marsh Harbor. Also wondering how empty your gas tank is getting.
Always interesting!
Xo, Lynn
Great Questions Lynn. I didnt see many islands that were "Robinson Crusoe" looking, but did run across a couple with private houses. Mostly they are just deserted rocks with scrub trees and splashing water at high tide. I cant begin to imagine the cost of building out there? (or who does it?) Boat traffic did increase 10 fold as we got to Marsh Harbor. the small dinghys and runabouts fly through the anchorage with reckless abandon creating large waves to rock the boats. But this stops after dark. *Gas tank is an area of interest to all. It's diesel instead of gas and Prodigal burns about 1 gallon per hour when moving. So i can 'estimate' about 70 gallons burned. i put the dip stick in the tank yesterday and it's about 90 gallons still in that tank, plus my 30 gallon spare tank. *But, rick and i plan to go to a marina and refill before he leaves so that i have an abundant supply.
