Geoff, nice job organizing all of that, and the pictures are great.
What kind of camera/lens/filter are you using for your under water
shots?

We have been to many of the same places in the Abacos and Exumas and
it's interesting to compare notes. Did you get to Harbour Island on
the north end of Eleuthera? We were there twice last year and really
enjoyed it.

Wayne,

We didn't take BlueJacket to Harbour Island. We were in Spanish Wells
and decided that it would be much easier and safer to hop the ferry and
spend the day there instead of moving BlueJacket there. For those of you
who haven't been there, here's a snippet from my log:

******
Harbour Island is one of the oldest settlements in the Bahamas and is
only located about 6 miles from Spanish Wells. The biggest issue is
getting there with your boat as the route between the two islands is
known as "The Devil's Backbone" and that's an appropriate name. The
Devil's backbone winds through a maze of patch reefs and is extremely
shallow. Any straying from the route and you'll end up in trouble. You
need good light, calm seas and a pilot to get you there. You can hire
pilots in Spanish Wells for about $90 to guide you there. The alternative
is to take the high speed ferry from Spanish Wells to Harbour Island
which costs $25 round trip. It leaves Spanish Wells at 9:45, returns at
3:45 and it takes about 30 minutes. We chose the later option and we're
glad that we did.
