The Sea of Abaco is a cruiser's delight. It is a shallow (3 to 12 feet) protected body of water with few hazards. There are destination cays and fringing reef protecting the sea from the North Altantic and 3 to 5 miles to the west is the Great Abaco Island. Sailing and sport fishing are so benign and pleasant here that the area has taken on aspects of a boom town with development on every little island and cay.
Friday the wind had laid down enough to head for Hope Town, Elbow Cay. Hope Town is so cool that I am going to give it a seperate post.
Saturday was a lazy afternoon sail back to Marsh Harbor. The Briscoes have to leave Sunday which is far too soon.
Monday is reprovisioning day and a short sail back to Great Guana Cay. On Tuesday we will negotiate the famous Whale Cay passage and head for Green Turtle Cay
White Pepper started north from Little Harbor on Saturday May 23, 2008 as mentioned in the previous post. We met Kathy and Robert Briscoe on Tuesday. It was great to see old friends and open new mail. The wind was still blowing hard from the east so on Wed. we set of to the NW and Great Guana Cay. Great Guana is the 'last frontier' here for development. It has wonderful beaches and two famous beach bars--Nipper's and Grabber's. We devoted a day to each as well as long beach walks and snokeling. I saw the largest live conch I have ever seen just off Delia Cay in 2 feet of water--oh, for an underwater camera! Kathy photographed a ray in a very artistic way. As soon as I can get the band width I will post it.
