Here in GTC there are no banks. Picture
to the right is where one of the banks was three years ago. Most of the
settlements have lost their banks; most have lost their ATMs, and the
'lucky' ones that have ATMs, most don't work. To get cash, you have to
go to Marsh Harbour (MHH).

Most take a ferry to Treasure Cay and rent a car or take a
cab to MHH. Cost is around $100 US (or BS). We took the trip several
times while we were in GTC. It is a good time to stock up on food and
booze, eat at the various restaurants, and get medicine, or clinical help.

The BOLO ferry provides a fantastic service to
and from Treasure. They will even pick you up and drop you off at your
boat or dock. Round trips cost around $22. The 0800 and 0900 ferries
are the most popular for us Black Sounders. Last ferry leave Treasure
at 1830.

We rent our car from R and M as they have car waiting for
you when you arrive at Treasure. This day, we were traveling with
Yvonne and Joe of SV Modoki so we got a van as we were buying lots of stuff.

We needed some off the shelf medicine so, of course,
we went to the Chemist Shoppe, the MHH's version of a drug store. We
always touched base with Bristol's, the largest liquor store in MHH.
Grocery stores includes Maxwells, Abaco, Price Right, and Skaggs.

All cruisers and lots of local stop at Destiny's Grill for
the best ribs, chicken, pork chops, and stuffed potatoes. We like
Walter's, the Bakery, and what used to be Curly tails. Still the
restaurants in GTC are better in our opinion.

|
We headed to Crossing Rocks so that we could go
sea glass hunting. CR is about 40 minutes south of MHH and parts of the
road are interesting. Ann likes to look, loves to find, and hates her
back when it forces her to quit. Bob helps then. 'Pickins' were good (gallery) and Ann's mood (and back) improved.
