Bahamas in January
Subject: Bahamas in January
From: "Cheshire" We are planning a trip of 4 to 6 weeks, beginning in January. I would like to go through the Abacos first at a leisurely pace and then head down to the northern Exumas. What is the best route from Marsh or Little Harbor to the Exumas? The answer to that question is weather dependent of course. The cruising guide suggests that the southern tip of Abaco is a poor anchorage The very southern tip perhaps but you can anchor in and around the Litte Harbour, Laynyard Cay area and wait out must any weather before shooting over to Eleuthera. (50nm to Egg Island) Then stop in Spanish Wells for fuel and provisions before heading to the Exumas. 40-45 nm from Spanish Wells to Beacon Cay the top of the Exumas. and also that Eleuthera is a difficult place to navigate, The only spot that's in any way difficult would be the route to Harbour Island and if you don't want to navigate it yourself just hire a guide at Spanish Wells. Besides, if your heading to the Exumas there is no reason to go to Harbour Island any way. We are on a two engine trawler and make about 9-10 knots. The above is the way we did it this summer in the same type vessel. And I would allocate at least as much time in the Exumas as in the Abacos. Capt. Bill |
