 It is great to be in Black Sound in our same slip as last
year. We continue to spoil ourselves with a marina knowing full well
when we leave here, we will not be 'doing' marinas. Water, electricity,
potties, and laundry; not bad. Lots of cats but not too many dogs. There is Chowder who we introduced last year and now we met Domino and Smiley.

 Black Sound borders the settlement of New Plymouth.
It is a small community of less than 450 people, rich with tradition,
friendly people, and a clean and efficient business sector. We are more
isolated than you would think, but we'll talk about that later.

 One of our scheduled activities is watching the MV Legacy
come to the Government dock every Thursday. It is the primary delivery
vehicle for everything that comes to or from Green Turtle. It is an
example of very efficient logistics plus it is fun to watch.

 Most folks here get around on golf carts
though there are cars on the Cay. The narrow roads are best traveled by
the carts. They are rugged enough to go on the dirt and rocky roads to
lead to the neat beaches. Only catch is that driving protocol is the Commonwealth side of the road.

 Traveling around GTC is straightforward in small boats and
dinghies. There are public or free docks everywhere. When we are lazy,
which is most of the time, we hop in the dinghy to head to the
settlement or White Sound. Some will island hop on their dinghies but our engine is too small to make that much fun.

 There are 7 restaurants in the settlement, most
are very good. There are also a few fancy restaurants up White Sound
but we have not checked them all out. We'll be talking about restaurants
later during our stay here. We'll also mention some of the ones we like in Marsh Harbour.
