Elbow Cay - Little Harbour - Apr 16-18

Time to continue south just a little further. Tuesday morning we left Hope Town and cruised 16 miles to Lynard Cay.
As the crow flies, our anchorage for the night was only 12 miles away but due to having to zigzag around shallow banks, we put 16 miles under the hull.  The shoreline in the area is more ocean eroded rocks and caves than sandy beaches. In fact, we found many Sea Biscuits evidently deposited on the rocks during storms. Strange site! 

Wednesday morning we had planned to move 3 miles south to Little Harbour located at the southern most point of the Sea of Abaco. Upon reviewing depths and tides, we opted to leave the mother ship where she was and took the dinghy to visit Little Harbour.  The small harbor was very beautiful with both beach and caves surrounding it. Lunch was a hoot at the iconic Pete’s Pub. Toes in the sand, cheeseburger and coconut cracked conch in paradise. Favorite lunch stop of the trip! By mid afternoon we were back on PV2 and headed north.  We traveled a short 8 miles to Tilloo Cay.  As we were dropping the hook, a large shark swam up to help the captain check the anchor. No diving over this anchor! This cove also offered many ray, jellyfish and turtle sightings.

Fun stuff!
