Description:
Green Turtle Cay is a good hurricane shelter with Black Sound being the best option.
Black Sound has a boatyard and 4 small marinas/docking facilities.
White Sound has two fair-sized marinas (Bluff House and Green Turtle Club).
Cruiser Highlights:
Green Turtle Cay Community Net: VHF Channel 72 at 0815 - 7 days a week.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
To get into the sounds is a bit tricky and certainly getting into Black Sound should best be done at HW. There are mooring balls available in both Black and White Sounds as holding is poor.
New Plymouth has no marina or yacht dockage, just a good anchorage that offers protection from easterly winds and two options for dinghy docks. There are several reasonable stores in the main street, for hardware and food.
Position:
26° 45'54"N, 77° 19'50"W (entrance to Black Sound)
