Monday morning 2/26 we left Bimini headed to Chubb Cay. This was a 96 mile trip, great weather and gentle seas.
Bye Bimini!
Nothing but open water all day!
We reached Chubb Cay at 10:30 pm. Thank goodness for the clear skies and almost full moon. The water was so clear that we could see the ruffles in the sand and the anchor in just the moonlight! So beautiful. Needless to say, Roxie was going to have to wait until morning to take care of business.
The next morning we dropped the dingy and took a quick ride to a little island. As we were coming in you could see starfish and conch shells in the water. There were so many! Up on the island I found a couple of treasures that came back to the boat! You know if it weren't for Roxie needing potty breaks we would have missed a lot of these opportunities to see things.
We left Chubb Cay about 8:30 headed to an anchorage in Nassau. About 2 hours into the ride we started getting bounced around pretty good. Around 3 pm we anchored off a little island just east of Nassau called Salt Bay Anchorage. We had great holding there and hiding from the high winds that were coming, but the swell off the ocean was about 2 foot at times. Not to mention the excursion boats pass here all day long....fast and throwing wakes! It was a rocky two days but was beautiful all the same.
There were two beaches on the island that were close by and we discovered it was inhabited with pigs, peacocks and iguanas. The pigs paid us no mind....and looked to be well fed!
Hello Nassau!
