Green Turtle Cay

 We are currently, March 2023, in Green Turtle Cay.  It is possibly the last populated island we'll visit before we make landfall in the US. New Plymouth is one of the oldest settlements in the Abacos with its own fascinating history. There may be a few spots with a few people still to visit but we're not sure what has survived Dorian.  Many of the smaller, hard hit places have pretty much been abandoned for the time being..  This place is also a working town and on it's way to recovery.  We wish all the Abaconian people well in their efforts to come back from the forces of Dorian.

We walked to this dock that came to an abrupt end.  It

used to be a marina.  You can see the surviving dock out in the

water.  There is no way to reach it by land.

Like many of the islands, there is a steep ridge running between

the ocean side and the Sea of Abaco side.

Thanks in many languages.

A sculpture garden of famous Abaconians.

The Pineapple club bathrooms.Those are pineapple

carvings in the top of the fence.

The old jail.  You can see the bars in the back of the cell.

New Plymouth from across the small harbour.

New Plymouth sign.

Another waterfront view.

The Albert Lowe museum.   It isn't open yet as they are still

in recovery stages.  The lady in charge of purchasing and

apparently head cheerleader gave us a tour of what

was completed.  We were impressed enough to make a

donation to their gofundme page.

A monument to the loyalist founders.

A New Plymouth street.

There was an amazing amount of undamaged wood on this 

house. It was built in 1866.

A street corner or I guess a street V.

The government complex.

This big freighter cut expertly through the middle of the 

anchorage. He was less than 100 yards from us.

The firehouse.

Some of these places were fully restored, others in some state of repair.

The tiny inner harbor.  Only small boats could make it

in due to shallows.

 Our Daily Bread Bakery.
