On Friday morning we departed Green Turtle Cay with calm winds. Our next leg south required low winds as we needed to travel Whale Cay Passage. Traveling “ The Whale” demands cruising a short distance outside of the barrier islands around Whale Cay due to a shallow bank that extends all the way from Whale Cay to Great Abaco Island. (too shallow for our boat) With the wrong winds, this area experiences conditions known locally as “a rage”. No one should attempt to transit this area in a rage. Our passage was smooth and easy.
Just south of Whale Cay lies Great Guana Cay where we pulled into a cove, dropped the hook and took the dinghy to shore. We walked across the island to the famous Nippers Bar & Grill located on the Atlantic for lunch. Upon returning to PV2 and reviewing the weather, the Captain decided to move 5 miles across the Sea of Abaco for better wind protection for the evening.
Saturday morning we crossed over to a beautiful cove on the northeast side Man-O-War Cay. Another great day! The turquoise waters continue to amaze us.
