Great Sail Cay to West End

Had a great long sail to West End.  As we went past Church Cay, it was low tide and we sailed passed a VPS zone at 6 1/2 knots scraping a hard bottom.




We tried anchoring south of West End but someone on land was waving us that we could not anchor there.  I decided to check in at Old Bahamas Bay marina.  We had supper at the restaurant at the Marina.

Wednesday we walked through West End, a bleak town with several conch shacks, bars and locals.








We stayed until Friday when Norm departed at 5 AM and later Chris pulled me up the mast to investigate the failed anchor light and straighten the mast head windex that was bent in the Dismal Swamp on a tree.  We were not successful with the anchor light.








We check out of the Bahamas at Customs and the Marina on Friday.
