We had a great day today. Since it wasn't beach weather with the 20 knot winds, we rented a golf cart to explore the island. We went on every road and cart path we could find, it really gave us a different feel for the island. It made it feel more real. I know that sounds strange, but it is kind of a warped view being anchored out sometimes. It is not just here, when we are on the boat at anchor, and have to go to shore, it sometimes feels like we have never been on land before, like we don't belong or something. Driving around, really gave us a feel for the place. We really like it here, the majority of the East side of this Cay is a beautiful beach with a reef not far off of the beach. We would have loved to have gone swimming, but the waves were pretty big and we were told that they get a pretty good rip current through there too.
There are three areas of the island, New Plymouth is the main town on the island, Black sound seems to be more residential, and where we are on the Northern side is a lot of seasonal/rental type properties, and resorts.
We found a small little beach on the North West side of the island which was more protected from the wind, and we had a picnic lunch and hung out until we had to bring the cart back. Something of note....food here is expensive. I love orange juice, and we just paid $6.50 for a half gallon! Chris and I got back to the boat and waited for the kids to go to sleep before we opened it, I felt like a closet alcoholic that has to hide to have a drink. It was a little different, we were only hiding because we didn't want to share. At $6.50 I want to act like a 2 yr old and say "my orange juice". Actually, I am not sure that being an alcoholic is much worse than that????? Maybe I will share tomorrow!
