One of our favourite ways to spend time here in the Blow-hamas, while we're waiting for the Don't Rock Pass to settle down so we can travel further South, is to pack up a cooler full of lunch and libations and head out in the dinghy. We do a lot of that. One of our favourite stomping grounds is Manjack Cay, just to the North of Green Turtle.
While there are some inhabitants on Manjack, it is mostly a quiet, wilderness spot. There is no "town" per se, at least that we've found. The highlight for us was dinghying up the little rivers that ran through the cay to look for great big turtles to feed. We heard that is where they are easy to find. Also, Manjack is a great place to beach comb and look for sea biscuits.

The first time we dinghied over there the first wildlife we saw was, yup, another pig. Seriously? Where are they coming from? There on the beach we saw one big sow being fed by a few gathered boaters. We happened to have some bread in our lunch basket so we got into the fun and shared it with Miss Piggy.
We did end up seeing many turtles, which was the goal, but none of them were brave enough to approach the dinghy for some snacks. Just another reason we'll have to revisit the blow-hamas. We're hankering for a close encounter with a great big turtle.
