Green Turtle Cay to Manjack Cay, Abacos, Bahamas (anchored)
May 27, 2022
After a quick breakfast in town, we let go of the mooring ball in Black Point Sound and did a quick sail to Manjack Cay. This cay is privately owned by a few gracious folks who provide access to their island and several walking trails.
The art trail winds its way through the woods. Boaters leave artifacts – some really elaborate – along the trail. I don’t know if cruisers bring these completed objects with them or make them on their boats. With all of the tools and stuff we carry, we really don’t have room for art supplies (but I wish we did).
We escaped the art trail mosquitos by hanging out on the beach on the west side of the island. There are a few picnic tables there as well as coconut palms and even a machete. Andy decided we needed coconuts, then the boys used the island machete to open them.
The beach trail was one of the best trails we’ve been on in the Bahamas. Instead of the sharp, pitted rocks and narrow clearances, this trail was wide and mostly sand. It cut across the island to the east side, on the Atlantic Ocean.
There were actually wild orchids along the trail! Wild. Orchids.
The beach on the Atlantic side did not disappoint, either (it never does).
Tonight is a quiet night with a little rain – we’re going to watch the mdseason finale of Better Call Saul We’re hoping to do another dinghy tour through the mangroves with our flotilla family tomorrow and maybe walk a few more trails. We’re all keeping our eyes on the weather for the next week.

The orchids are so pretty, and the trail art is creative and entertaining.

I don’t think I have ever seen wild orchids and these ones were just along a trail.
