Navigating here is so different from in New England. The channels into harbors (or harbours as reflects the islands' British past )are barely marked. In Hopetown there are small green and red markers that look like mooring balls. the channel has 5 feet of water at low tide Once in the harbor depths are about 14 feet or so. You should see the size of the boats in the harbor! The dock master told us that he could " almost always find a spot for a little boat like yours!" I really wondered how some of those 50 or 70 ft boats got in. Today we entered Treasure Cay . This had one serious curve to enter with coral and sand bars not 5 feet away. This channel had stakes though and was fairly well marked. We had a gorgeous sail with the wind right behing us and the sails wing and wing the whole way. Got the anchor down about 5. Reports are that this is one of the best beaches in the Bahamas . We will keep you posted.

Sweet! Treasure Cay we've heard a lot about you. More entries!
Looks beautiful!! Although we've only been back from our cruise for a little over a week, could you send me some of that sunshine please?
