Can I go to green island in the bay with out a two way radio or do I have to carry one
The simple answer is no, you don't have to have a two way radio to visit Green Island
You can go to the North Pole without one if you want to.
They are, however, highly recommended and the 27MHz ones, at least, are not that expensive and don't need any sort of a licence to operate them.

Sweet cheer guys just wanted to make sure
While you may not need one it is highly advisable to get one, as Charlieville mentioned, the 27mhz aren't very expensive but the VHF radios' are so much better, a license for them isn't that hard to get. Any type of radio is better than no radio!
Questions has been answered, but just to put it in perspective, kayaks go out to green island every day.
