Waiting for weather window to cross Gulf Stream. Good marina / resort and very affordable ($85/night)
Anchored at Devil’s cay. Went hunting in the cuts and on the sound side of Hoffmann’s cay but found nothing. Explored a beautiful sandbar at hoffman’s cay
Took a dinghy ride into the abandoned marina
Spent a week at Rock Sound hiding from NW-NE winds and hanging out with Chuck’s sister, Maribeth, and her family who were vacationing there
Stayed just 2 night but got to meet up with Johnny and Susan on SV Ocean Odyssey and also Dan and Jill in SV SeaBear. Went into town for lunch and to get a few items at the Pink and Blue stores. Then off to Eluthera
Great hike on the sound side. Found lots of sea glass. Good snorkeling at Tug & Barge. Got 6 conch and saw an el
Came into Ocean Bight to wait out a west wind event. Excellent protection from SKE to N. And very good holding in sand. Explored the closed Sandals Resort and saw a reef manta ray swim past our stern!
Saw SpaceX rocket blow up!
7-9 boats in the anchorage so far. SV Now & Zen organizing lots of social events and communications with Duncan Town locals. Lobsters, hogfish and Nassau grouper (not in season yet) abound! Had a solo pink flamingo show up near the anchorage! Bob and Anita on SV Discovery finally arrived and we got to celebrate Bob’s tennis Hal of fame
Great time hanging out with MV Life of Chill. Lots of snorkeling, hunting, hiking and beach combing
Nice quiet anchorage all to ourselves. Chuck shot a hog fish and I got to swim with a big loggerhead turtle
Anchored on the west side in calm weather. Snorkled the wreck and landed the dinghy on the beach but it was challenging with the crashing waves. Beautiful night sky. Woke up the next morning with big swells and breaking waves out of the NW, which made it very uncomfortable and even dangerous with no wind to keep us off the beach. Moved around to the south facing bay
Loved this anchorage in east wind. Three miles of beach and so many interesting shells to collect. Not much coral to snorkel but we did find some.
Nice anchorage but not much to do. We entertained ourselves at the nearby government dock as the mailboat arrived. Lots of activity and people to watch. Rented a car from Gregory
242-426-7849 and did a tour of the island with friends from SV Onward
Great anchorage. The very shallow Bight of Aklins really can’t develop much fetch so it’s calm in light to moderate wind from any direction
Went into town. Easy to land dinghy. Grocery store was pretty good. Had lunch at Gibbson’s and met Willamena who was so nice.
We had a couple calm sea days so went up to the NW point of Crooked Island to snorkel/hunt in the reefs. Extremely clear water, interesting coral structures, lots of fish but no lobsters to be found. We also explored Bird Rock lighthouse which was very difficult to land our dinghy but super cool once we were on shore
We met Nathanial, one of only 5 residents on Long Cay
Convenient stop for the night but very rough. Really no protection from the “rock”
Very protected mooring field. Will definitely use again
