We're finally in the Bahamas and have been able to sail 77% of the time we've moved. This has been significantly better than the last several months and it feels good to be moving mostly under sail. A combination of smaller jumps, more consistent wind, and our willingness to slow down a bit.
30 Nights on Anchor 1 Night At Marina
We treated ourselves to a night at Chub Cay Marina in the Berry Islands during a strong blow.
52 kWh of Solar Generated
In the month of January we generated a total 52 kWh of solar. Since we didn't motor much, we relied heavily on solar generation, and have had to limit our Starlink and Electric Kettle usage. This was the second highest solar generation since leaving the dock and the most we've made since August. As the days get longer we're starting to see higher peak output and new daily solar records. I expect we'll start to get ahead of our power needs by the end of February. One other change that has driven our power conservation is that we're making our own water now, which takes a lot of electricity (about 600 watts per 15-16 Gallons)
$883 Total Spent $28.48 Average Per Day
Despite one night in a marina, and filling our fuel for the first time since the beginning of December, we had the lowest monthly cost since leaving the dock. We spent a total of $883, and of that $235 was to replace fuel that was consumed in December. Groceries were by far the lowest we've had at only $228, which is a combination of having a full pantry we're eating through as well as being very successful in fishing: Lobster, Whelks, and many fish have kept us fed and using our vegetables much slower than normal. If we continue the successful fishing, we should be able to stretch our pantry and groceries further than expected. It feels good to have a low spending month after blowing our budget the last few months in preparation. I believe by the time we leave the Bahamas our lower spending in the Bahamas will level out the pre-departure overspending.
We started the year leaving Great Harbour Cay and heading to Hoffman’s Cay in the Berry Islands. It was a very pleasant sail with light winds and flat water. On the way, we caught two cotton mouth jacks. One we kept, one we actually threw back because we had such a stockpile of fish!
We anchored surrounded by small islands all of which had their own secluded beaches to explore. We spent the afternoon walking to Hoffman’s blue hole and exploring some of the beautiful beaches in the area.
The islands in this area had several great, short hikes! We walked across Hoffman’s Cay to the ocean side where we found a picture-perfect beach with nobody around. We walked the entire length of the beach and found a ton of sea glass along the way! Everywhere we went here was stunning! This area was by far our favorite in the Berry Islands!
The final day in the anchorage we met up with our friends aboard SV Sea Rex who we had met in West Palm. We went back to the blue hole to jump in as we didn’t realize there was a path down to the water during our first visit. It was nice to hang out with other young cruisers for the day. They gave us some great intel on Eleuthera and the Exumas where we are headed next. They are off to the Abacos but hopefully we see them again one day.
With some incoming weather we set off south along the Berry Islands. We spent one night at Frazer Hog Cay then continued to Chub Cay to wait out some wind. The following morning we headed into the marina at Chub Cay to treat ourselves and the boat for a night. Resande was in need of a good washing after several upwind passages left her covered in salt. We also enjoyed the day/evening in the marina. The island here is private so you aren’t allowed ashore unless you pay a landing fee or are staying at the marina or resort on the island. Having a slip got us access to all the resort amenities. We relaxed by the pool and in the hot tub all afternoon then headed to the local restaurant for dinner. We ended up having a nice time talking with a few other cruisers during dinner.
The following day was our window to leave the Berry Islands before the next big wind storm. We left the marina and started off in some big, sloppy waves. Eventually they smoothed out and we enjoyed a really nice sail to the west end of New Providence Island. This is where we stayed through the next couple days of high winds.
We made the most of our time in this anchorage. We found some great snorkeling nearby. Ryan saw two spotted eagle rays swim by. We both saw plenty of fish and some great little coral reefs. We also saw the statue of a Bahamian girl which was placed underwater not far from shore.
Once the high winds were over we headed off to Spanish Wells just north of Eleuthera. We had a fantastic sail all the way to the anchorage. We started off down-wind then had a wind shift putting us on a beam-reach/slightly upwind. The waves died off as the passage continued. Once we hit the shallower water of the bank we caught three fish- a little tunny, an amberjack and a yellow snapper! We got the anchor down and enjoyed a nice sushi night!
Being in the Bahamas and in less of a hurry, we have been able to actually sail most of our passages. In the Great Lakes and all the way down the coast we had many days of no wind or high winds. Also needing to make many miles and trying to do so in the daylight often forced us to motor or motor sail. Everyone on board has been really enjoying the passages without the engine noise!
We stayed in Spanish Wells, at the Meeks Patch anchorage for four nights. There is a nicely stocked grocery store in town so we re-provisioned. Our pantry is very-well stocked from all the provisioning we did in Florida before crossing, we mostly just needed fresh veggies. We found prices on some things not so different from the U.S but others were double or triple the cost!
The Meeks Patch anchorage is nicely protected from any ocean swell. The small island was really nice to paddle board around on a calm day. We also enjoyed harvesting several coconuts and got some snorkeling in. There are no big reefs around the anchorage but several small patches of coral in the shallow waters.
After several days it was time to continue south. We went through Current Cut to get to the island of Eleuthera which Spanish Wells sits just north of. It was a flat calm day which we were happy about because the current runs very quickly through the cut so thankfully we only had that to deal with, no wind or waves.
We anchored near the Glass Window Bridge and the Queen’s Bath. Both were amazing to see. The sun came out just as we reached the bridge. The bridge gives you a great view of the different water colors from the deep blue Atlantic Ocean side to the teal Bahamas Bank side of the island. The only difference is the depth of the water, it is crystal clear on both sides.
Continuing down Eleuthera we stayed in Hatchet Bay for two nights. This was the most calm, protected anchorage we had seen in a while. This was a land-locked lake that they built a channel into so it is protected on all sides. Most anchorages in the islands are only protected from a couple directions so if the wind changes you have to move.
While in Hatchet Bay we walked across the island to the beach on the Atlantic side and walked to the Hatchet Bay Cave. You can go about a half mile back into this cave. There were only a couple bats near the back. The stalagmites and stalactites were really cool to see. Walking back through the small town on our way back to the boat we stopped off at the Front Porch Restaurant for a drink. All the locals we have talked with on the islands have been so nice and welcoming and this place was no different!
From Hatchet Bay we headed to the Pinapple Cays area of Eleuthera and anchored for the night. The whole coast of Eleuthera was really pretty. Its rocky with small caves along the way. The land is taller than in the Berry Islands. We were lucky enough to have two sets of dolphins play on our bow during this passage. They each stayed for only a couple minutes before diving back down into the water and swimming away. It was a highlight of the entire trip to watch them swim so close in the beautiful turquoise water!
The following day we sailed off anchor and had a perfect sail all the way to Rock Sound at the bottom of the island. We had a couple really nice weather days to explore before a big blow came through that lasted days. We ended up staying in Rock Sound for a full week to wait it out.
Thankfully there is plenty to see and do in Rock Sound. We walked around town and found the locals to be really welcoming and friendly. Across the island from the anchorage is a pink sand beach. We also found some great spearfishing in the bay we were anchored. Ryan got us a couple snappers and a giant spider crab. We also visited the Cathedral Caves and got several small boat projects done.
Once the wind died down a bit we made a run for it! We crossed the Exuma Sound and made landfall on Allan Cay in the Exuma Island Chain! It was a pretty wavy, rolly passage but we were very happy to finally be in the Exumas!
We spent several days at Allan Cay. The anchorage is surrounded by small little beaches and the water is super clear! Ryan did a ton of spearfishing, he got 5 lion fish, a snapper and a grouper! We also harvested some whelk (sea snails) to steam up. We are really enjoying tasting all the different sea food.
Allan Cay is also home to the Bahamian Rock Iguanas. Tour boats come through and the tourists feed the iguanas so they expect to be fed. As soon as we pulled the dinghy up they all came running towards us. Once they realized we didn’t have any snacks they left us alone during our visit.
We bumped into our friends aboard Keilani who we first met in the North Channel of Lake Huron. It was nice to catch up with them again. We then waited out some more high winds at Allan Cay before moving on to Norman’s Cay. The water at Norman’s Cay is stunning. There are many sand bars and shallower waters that then drop off to deeper waters giving you beautiful changes in the shades of blue.We will be here a couple days enjoying it before we head on to Shroud Cay for a Young Cruisers Association event where we will be able to catch up with several boats we have met and hopefully met lots of new friends.
While cruising the Bahamas we really enjoyed our time on Eleuthera. We found plenty to explore and wonderfully protected anchorages.
Spanish Wells
We started our time here just north of Eleuthera Island in Spanish Wells. The town of Spanish Wells has a nicely stocked grocery store- Food Fair where we stocked up on fresh food before continuing our journey through the Bahamas.
We spent four nights in the Spanish Wells area, anchored at Meeks Patch which is about two miles from town. The anchorage is nicely protected with space on the east and west side allowing cruisers to move if needed due to weather. While there are no large reefs we found plenty of small coral heads with plenty of small fish around the rocky coast of the island. There are nice beaches around the anchorage as well. On a flat calm day, we paddle boarded around the entire Meeks Patch island. We saw a lemon shark, a couple rays, turtles, fish and starfish along the way.
There are plenty of coconut palms on the island and we even found a large table with a cutting board type top to harvest our coconuts on the beach before heading back to the boat. The island also features roosters, chickens and pigs. We saw a couple small tour boats around the pigs with people feeding them in the shallow waters near the beach.
From Spanish Wells we headed through Current Cut south to Eleuthera. The current through the cut can reach 6-8 knots. The current is closest to slack and hour and a half after high water at Nassau. You do need to time your passage through the cut. We chose a calm day to motor through.
Goulding Cay
We anchored here to visit the Glass Window Bridge and the Queen’s Baths. This anchorage is really pretty and so quiet. Both the bridge and the baths were stunning and we highly recommend stopping here. You can beach the dinghy and then it’s just a short walk to both of these spots. The baths are best when visited at low tide.
Hatchet Bay
This anchorage was a land locked lake that now has a man-made, narrow channel to enter. It is a very protected anchorage. The town, Alice Town is quite small. We stopped in at The Front Porch for a drink. We had planned to get lunch but we found the prices to be much higher than we expected so after a drink we headed back to the boat to eat. From the restaurant you get great views of the anchorage and the people working the restaurant were super friendly.
While in Hatchet Bay we walked across the island to the beach on the Atlantic side. Its a pretty beach worth a visit. We also walked to the Hatchet Bay Caves. This was a long walk, about two miles down the Queen’s Highway. The road can get busy and there is no side walk. Several times we stepped off into the bushes along the side of the road to let cars pass. The cave is really cool to see. You can walk back quite far, about half a mile is what we read. There is a small latter that you walk down and then the cave really opens up. There is a string/rope on the floor so you can follow that along the cave and then back out again. We only saw a couple bats. There is a lot of graffiti which does take away from it a bit, we hoped it would lessen the further back into the cave we went but there is plenty of graffiti throughout the entire cave. Bring your flashlight if you plan to visit.
Governor’s Harbor
On our way back north we stopped at Governor’s Harbor for a few days. We had read that the holding isn’t great but we found decent holding in shelly sand. There are old moorings and rocky patches on the bottom so it helps to have good visibility to see where you drop anchor. We really enjoyed our time here. The town is set up very well with groceries, a well stocked wine/liquor store, trash disposal, free water and a gas station very close to shore. There are a few places to tie your dinghy or beach it. Wandering around town we found several cute little cafes and an ice cream shop!
The thing to do here is the Fish Fry event on Friday nights. The small beach side restaurant serves fish, chicken or pork dinners. The bar is open and they block off part of the street for dancing. It was definitely 95% cruisers and tourists, no many locals but a very fun event!
Palmetto Point
We stayed one night in this anchorage on our way down the island. Its really pretty again with the rocky coastline. We tried to do some spearfishing but we were not successful. There are a couple small islands nearby that we took the dinghy around to explore. It was a nice, quiet place to spend an afternoon/night.
Rock Sound
Our final stop on Eleuthera was Rock Sound at the bottom of the island. The anchorage here is also super protected from most wind directions. In town you can find gas, diesel, laundry and groceries. We found the grocery store here to have better prices on fresh food than what we saw in Spanish Wells.
The people in town were once again very friendly and willing to help in any way they could. We enjoyed talking to a few locals on our way across the island to the beach. The beach on the Atlantic side is a beautiful, pink sand beach. While the pictures don’t really make the sand appear pink it was definitely pink when you see it in person. The sand is super soft, we found it to be one of the best beaches we had visited so far in the Bahamas.
Across the bay from town, we found a great spot for spearfishing. We got a couple snappers and a huge crab with nobody else around fishing or snorkeling.
A short walk from town you can visit the Boiling Hole and Cathedral Cave. The boiling hole was not super clear, blue water but just beyond that you will enter Cathedral Cave which we thought was really impressive. Our first time through we missed about half the cave. After talking with a local artist we learned you can crawl through a small hole and continue into three more very impressive “chambers” of the cave which open up. The holes on the top of the cave have tree roots coming through them and into the ground, the sun coming through makes it really pretty in the cave. Again we only saw a couple bats flying around in the cave. We would recommend wearing shoes not sandals if planning to explore through the entire cave.
Also in town you can visit the Ocean Hole. It has plenty of fish, the water isn’t super clear but it is right in town and worth a quick stop. Before leaving Rock Sound we decided to check out the local food cart for lunch after running our final errands. We didn’t take any pictures of the food but it was really good! We had fried conch and mutton curry, both were amazing and the portions were huge. The prices here we much better than the front porch restaurant we saw in Hatchet Bay. There is no signage but if she is open and you walk up to the cart she will let you know what she has for the day.
From Eleuthera we headed off to the Exumas to continue our Bahamas Adventure! There are several other anchorages on Eleuthera that looked nice and worth a visit! Perhaps we may have to come back through someday!
After checking in at Bimini we set off for the Berry Islands. About 80 miles east, across the Bahamas Bank lays this very small island chain.
You can sail straight from the U.S to the Berry Islands and check-in at Great Harbour Cay or Chub Cay if you chose.
Great Harbour Cay
This is the most northern island in the chain. We anchored on the outside at the Beach Club anchorage which is on the north east corner of the island. This anchorage does get some swell from the open ocean so it wasn’t the most comfortable anchorage. We used a swell bridle to keep the boat pointed into the swell vs into the wind and that did help quite a bit. If you anchor along the northern shore you will be much better off than in the southern half of the bay where the swell is worse.
The beach here is stunning and quite long. The sand is super fine, soft and white. The beach is lined with houses which all were pretty empty when we visited. The Beach Club restaurant is located in the bay, we didn’t eat here but it looked nice.
On the south end of the anchorage you will find Shark Creek which is a mangrove lined saltwater creek that actually runs all the way through to the other side of the island. You can explore by dinghy or by kayak or paddle board. It was recommended to us to go on an incoming tide so that the water is more clear. We saw a ton of sea turtles and several eagle rays. We had read that there are plenty of small sharks but we didn’t see any during our visit. It is really pretty and we would highly recommend visiting while in the area.
Petit Cay lays across the bay. We headed over, unsure what we would find. We beached the dinghy and had a really nice walk along the beach and rocks, we were almost able to walk around the whole island before the beach and rocks turned into more thick vegetation and we had to turn around. We would recommend wearing some type of shoe here as the rocks are quite sharp.
Along the southern shore of Petit Cay there is a nice, shallow cove we good snorkeling and spearfishing. We got a huge lobster here. Some other cruisers who were also spearfishing the area said they saw some really nice, large fish in the deeper water just outside the rocks that line the cove. The shallow waters had some really nice, small reefs and plenty of small fish to see.
Hoffman’s Cay
Our next stop was Hoffman’s Cay. We anchored near White Cay, trying to tuck behind some land for shelter from an incoming northeast wind. During the day with this wind we got some waves which we expected but our wind died off in the evening then shifted out of the east. We spent several nights here since there is so much to explore!
Hoffman’s Blue Hole is the main attraction here. Its a short walk from beach to the blue hole, the path is very narrow but easy to find. The water in the hole is 600 ft deep and is said to have only oysters living in its waters. You can get a great view from on top of the rocks then follow the path to the right to head down under the rocks where you will find yourself right on the shore of the blue hole. The water is super clear and perfect for jumping in if you chose.
Also on Hoffman’s Cay there is a nice hike across the island on the north end of the island. Again the path is narrow but easy to find from the beach. Once across on the ocean side of the island the beach is beautiful and full of sea glass! We ended up with quite a pile of it after just a short walk along the shore.
If you head south from Hoffman’s you can explore Devil’s Cay. There is a cruisers beach on the south side of the island with a couple beach chairs, a welcome sign and small table. The chairs are not in the best shape but we enjoyed lounging in them for a bit, soaking up the sun. From that beach you can walk along the rocks around the inlet and out to the ocean side of the island. Again the beach was beautiful and full of more sea glass!
While some of the beaches around the anchorages here are private most are not and there are tons of little beaches to explore! The snorkeling in all the small bays in the area is said to be great as well. We didn’t have the warmest days during our visit so most of our exploration was on land.
This area was by far our favorite part of the Berry Islands. We could have easily spent more time in the anchorages here but the weather was changing and we had to get moving!
Frazer’s Hog Cay
We set off, south along the island chain and spent the night at Frazer Hog Cay. The beaches here looked nice but we only stayed one night before continuing on. We needed to find better protection from some incoming wind.
Chub Cay
Chub Cay is the last, furthest south island in the Berry chain. Chub Cay is private but you can anchor outside in the bay. Going ashore you will need to pay a landing fee at the marina. We booked a slip for one night at the Chub Cay Marina. Booking through their website you can get a good deal. Prices fluctuate frequently. You can check the website several times a day and see different prices each time, if you do want to stay, book the slip when you see a good price. Your slip will get you access to the island and all of its amenities which include a pool overlooking the beach with swim up tiki bar, hot tub, restaurants, bathroom/showers and access to a small store with some grocery essentials.
We really enjoyed our stay here. We met plenty of other cruisers and had a nice dinner at the Nauti Rooster restaurant.
Fishing in the Berry Islands
We found the fishing all along the island chain to be fantastic! We fished whenever we were sailing, except near Chub were there is a reserve that you cannot fish. While in the Berries we caught a king mackerel, three blue runners, one cotton mouth jack, one barracuda (which we threw back), one yellow-tail snapper (we threw back because it was pretty small) and one banded rudderfish. While the king mackerel was by far our favorite, the others were really good as well!
One final note on the Berry Islands- There are really no all weather anchorages. Most anchorages are protected from 1-2 directions. If you have a lot of changing wind direction and weather it will be challenging to find protection. Anchorages with exposure to the ocean we found to be very rolly even when the wind wasn’t that heavy. Inside the island chain you don’t get swell but your exposed to west wind and often to north and south as well. We would certainly have enjoyed these islands even more if we had more settled weather.
From the Berries we will continue through the Bahamas, heading towards Eleuthera and then the Exumas. There are plenty of other anchorages in the Berry Islands that we didn’t explore this time around and we’d love to go back one day!
We had a couple of great sails from Fort Pierce to West Palm, Fort Lauderdale to Miami but we also had to motor quite a bit again as we finished out the ICW and had a rough Gulf Stream crossing. We ended up motor-sailing across the Gulf Stream because the wind was heavy from the Southeast and we couldn't make the wind angle under sail alone. We also had to motor for many hours of our Bimini to Chub Cay passage since our wind completely died half way there.
24 Nights on Anchor 7 Nights At Marina
December was a rough month in Florida, we had about 10 days in a row of 20+ knot winds, ending in a huge front that came through with up to 50 knot winds. We were able to get a slip in West Palm for a full week. It cost a small fortune, but we were able to get out of the anchorage for heaviest wind.
45 kWh of Solar Generated
In the month of December, we generated 33 kWh of solar power. Since we motored less in December we had to really conserve our electricity. Now that the days are starting to get longer again and we're out of the cloudiest month we should start seeing our solar output improve again. Our best month of 2023 was August at 53 kWh.
$3,685 Total Spent $118.86 Average Per Day
Outside of our normal spending, we had three things that piled onto Decembers spending #'s: The slip in West Palm cost us $1,066 for the week - more than we'd spent at marinas for the last six months combined! The next item was health insurance - we paid for 6 months of an international plan which was about $770 for the two of us. Finally, we bought $713 of groceries - we continued to provision while we were in West Palm, and now we're packed with food on Resande. One bonus one is the cruising fees for the Bahamas were $375 total, and we took the cats to the vet for their health check which was $232 including some vaccinations they needed. There was quite a bit of 'one-time' items this month so we're hoping the next few months in the Bahamas will be significantly less expensive.
The month started with us leaving the marina in Titusville and heading south. The wind was coming from the south and pretty light so we took the ICW for the day. We anchored just off the ICW in a quiet little spot, nothing much around to do but we slept and then headed off again in the morning and made it to Fort Pierce.
We stayed in Fort Pierce for two days. We enjoyed finally being somewhere with clear water. There were several small islands around the anchorage with little beaches to explore. We walked to the ocean beach and actually got in the water for the first time since the Great Lakes! We briefly met Brain and Erin aboard SV Lost and will hopefully catch up with them again in the Bahamas.
We chose a perfect weather window for the 45 mile sail south to West Palm Beach. We were finally able to sail pretty much the entire passage! We had flat seas and sunny skies. We threw a lure in while sailing and to our surprise, actually caught and got a fish onto the boat! We caught a good sized Mackerel or Wahoo ( we aren’t 100% sure) and it was so good! We ate it for days, and the cats also had plenty!
We had then finally made it to what we thought would be our final anchorage in Florida. West Palm Beach is where we planned to stage and wait for our weather window to cross over to the Bahamas.
Well… We ended up stuck in West Palm for a while. Our first week we had wind 15-20 knots most days but some sunshine. We met up with several other boats all waiting to cross to the Bahamas. We had a great time playing beach games and going out in downtown West Palm with our new group of young cruising friends. We also met up with family friends of Ryan’s. They took us to a nice lunch and gave us a gift basket full of goodies.
Our second week in West Palm there was a big low pressure system setting up, we thankfully were able to grab a marina slip to wait out the storm. This front brought clouds, rain, storms and heavy wind (gusting into the 50s on the worst night of it). Erika did not feel comfortable staying on anchor through the days long storm. We had sustained winds 25-35 for about five days. We hunkered down at the marina and waited it out. We were really glad we did because several boats dragged anchor during the worst of the storm. A boat we met in West Palm was hit by another boat dragging anchor. We had our dock lines doubled up and although it was still wavy and uncomfortable we made it through without any damage.
With yet another week before any possible weather window was forecast we set off about 10 miles south to Lantana to get a change of scenery for a few days. We spent some time with SV Sunwise and got to meet SV Explorer. Getting a change of scenery was really nice. We took a few walks through town and after much deliberation decided to go further south and cross from Miami instead of going back to West Palm.
We took off from Lantana and traveled on the ICW to Fort Lauderdale. This stretch of the ICW has a lot of bridges! Waiting for them to open slowed us down for sure but we made it to the anchorage late afternoon. The anchorage was very busy but we squeezed in for the night.
The next day we took off, heading outside in the ocean for Miami. The wind was up a bit more than we had hoped. We had a wavy ride down to Miami. With one reef in the main and stay sail only we averaged 5.5 to 6 knots in 3-5 ft waves. Once inside the inlet at Miami we had a wonderful sail in Biscayne Bay to arrive at our anchorage in Key Biscayne, No Name Harbor. SV Explorer who we met in Lantana sailed down with us. We enjoyed dinner with them onshore and met SV Cloud.
With a weather window insight we headed to shore for a final grocery run. We had been stocking up again and again since Titusville while we waited for weather to cross. Our pantry was jam packed but we needed some fresh veggies before crossing.
We spent a rainy Christmas day in Miami and then the following day it was finally time to cross to the Bahamas!
We woke up early and raised the anchor. The wind hadn’t died down as quickly as forecast so we set off with wind 18-20 knots. Big waves had us almost turning around to try again later on but we pushed through. Actually as we got further off shore and into the gulf stream the waves become more spaced out and manageable. We made landfall in Bimini before dark and anchored in a peaceful bay for the evening.
The next morning we got officially checked into the country and headed across the Bahamas bay to the Berry Islands. The bay is about 10-15 ft deep all the way across with a sand bottom. The water is so clear you can see the ripples in the sand as you sail by. The Berry Islands lay about 80 miles across the bay. We arrived at our anchorage at about 1am, anchoring in the dark for the first time ever.
We crashed for the night after arriving to Chub Cay. The following day was rainy and windy in the afternoon. We spent a lazy day onboard , relaxing after many ocean miles traveled. The wind shifted overnight making our anchorage very uncomfortable. We headed out at first light in search of a more calm anchorage.
We got our fishing line out right away and very quickly had a king mackerel on the line! We sailed around the outside of the Berry Island chain up to Great Harbour Cay. We caught a blue runner and a barracuda on the way as well. We didn’t keep the barracuda but the other two fish we had were great eating! The cats were super excited for all the fresh fish!
We spent the remainder of December in Great Harbour Cay. We walked the beach, explored shark creek which winds through the island, paddle boarded, snorkeled and went spearfishing. We saw plenty of fish, turtles, a few eagle rays and a lemon shark. Ryan got a huge lobster spearfishing on new year’s eve. We had a fantastic feast to finish out the year.
