That's enormously helpful. Thank you so very much!

All of anon's advice jibes very closely with my own experience.

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned is the possibility of checking
in someplace a little less busy than West End.

As long as you don't fish or go ashore, it is permissable to anchor
for the night without checking in. Just fly the Q flag and keep going
the next day. Spanish Key makes for a nice quiet and uncrowded place
to clear customs, and you can continue south from there.

Our favorites we

Green Turtle - anchor either Black Sound or White Sound; rent a golf
cart and tour the island; visit New Providence and Sarah Pineapple's
Pub; visit the Green Turtle club; tour the beaches on the north east
side.

Great Guana Key - primary attractions are the great beaches;
snorkeling behind the reef on the east side; and of course, the famous
Nippers Pub. Don't miss the pig roast on Sunday afternoons.

Treasure Key Cove and Marina - We didn't go by boat but everyone raves
about it. Go out to the end of the point and go wading on the sand
flats that stretch out for miles.

Marsh Harbour - Great place to resupply - lots of stores and
restaurants. Carry your VHF handheld ashore, everyone uses them to
call taxis and ask advice. Don't miss the cruisers net on VHF 68 at
8:00AM - great source of advice and information.

Hope Town Harbor - Great place, very scenic, climb the lighthouse,
rent a golf cart and drive down to the south end - spectacularly
scenic on a windy day.

Little Harbor - nice snug little cove way out in the boondocks - great
scenery - interesting history - visit the famous Pete's Pub and art
gallery, you will not be disappointed.
