It is a four hour cruise to our final Bahamian anchorage. We cruise the west side of the Islands with such high and low tides, we have to be extremely cautious. In some parts Mike has to stand watch on top of the roof to try and spot large coral heads. We fished with shallow dive lures and still one broke off presumably hitting a reef. We eventually reach 'New Providence Island' and anchor east at 'Sandy Cay' as we wanted to stay in the wilderness for one last...

We left Georgetown early heading North in the island group of The Exumas anchoring after a few hours at 'Musha Cay'. This is next to the private Island of the famous illusionist David Copperfield. We had fished the drop off on the way over with no result. After lunch we head off on a tour of the area. We had heard about caves here that can be explored through the marina at Musha Cay, but the owner would not allow us access as we were not paying guests of the res...

It is Paradise within Paradise here. The Island is preserved in its primitive, natural state, being a nature reserve and marine park. It is a sanctuary to migrating sea birds and green turtles. It has one of the most beautiful white sandy beaches we have visited and the clearest turquoise water. At a depth of 5 meters you can see leaves at the bottom of the sea. It is totally uninhabited. The first time in a week we have other boats anchoring near us, but there i...

We were hoping to visit 'Rum Cay', but Paul was worried about the limited anchorage with the adverse currents wind and swell, so we cruise a greater distance to the island of San Salvador. All of these Islands are relatively uninhibited, they have narrow band of shallow water in close to shore, with a lot of fringing reef. The water depth plunges in some cases to as deep as 3-4,000 meters. We had cruised at 8 knots to reserve fuel.This is ideal for fishing and ...

Friday. MB takes the boys tender fishing in the early morning. They only manage to catch a small Mackerel and a large Big Eye Trevally. We then all go to a beautiful beach for a snorkel and a swim. After breakfast we head north to anchor between Land Rail Point Settlement and Pitt Town Landing. Paul, Jon and Jeff go ashore and meet up with Willy Gibson, who they say is 'Miss knowns everything' and 'Unofficial Mayor'. She becomes our manager for all our requireme...
