Hi, O Font of all Bahamas knowledge :{))
Your input has been pretty much right on in the past stuff we've encountered, so, here's another question: We're in Georgetown, and will do some southerly exploration before moving back north as the weather warms (which it's NOT been, lately, here!). With our 7' draft, and all the nasty fronts lately, we're suspicious of the Jumentos and the Raggeds. Likewise, other than some limited protection, Thompson Bay ("Salt Pond") in Long Island, and a great opportunity for me to get out and scrub the bottom (at low tide, lightly aground in some places, lets me stand on the bottom to get some leverage while I wield my brush). However, everything we hear here suggests that LI is well worth visiting. Our draft suggests the only opportunity being Thompson (?)... Some of the other islands, in nasty conditions, give no protection whatsoever, but might be glorious exploration in more settled weather. The fronts should be dying off shortly, so those may well be of interest, too. And, we're expecting to move slowly north, and then, later, as we're on the way out, south again, as we take our time going down the Thorny Path, so going FAR south isn't particularly important at this immediate time. So, with full tanks and sound gear allowing pretty much any sort of movement we'd like, where would you recommend we explore before heading north again in a couple of months? Lydia sends you a big sloppy kiss, but I'll just give you a hug for your ineffable goofiness here :{)) L8R Skip, thinking like a single-engine pilot, which is how we immediately came to rest safely on our dead-stick into the fuel dock :{)) -- Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !
