Hatchet Bay to Rock Sound Harbour Eleuthera

We left Hatchet Bay at just before 7am to head to our next anchorage, Rock Sound Harbour.  We were hoping to be able to sail, but it would be a 6 hour and 45 minutes motor day with light winds.  And what wind there was, was on our nose.  Our intent was to stay at […]

 

Spanish Wells to Hatchet Bay, Eleuthera

After a few nice days in Spanish Wells, it was time to get moving. We delayed our departure from Spanish Wells by one day because acquaintances of ours, Amy and David Alton of S/V Starry Horizons, were coming in for a couple of nights from George Town in the Exumas. David and Amy completed a […]

LHC is very isolated, the only visitors are cruisers, fisherman, and occasional day-trippers. We anchored Ocean Song behind a small island in the lee of LHC, Cabbage Cay, for […]

 

Our Time in the Berry Islands: Great Harbour Cay

After our first night behind Great Stirrup Cay, we made the short trip to Great Harbour Cay. We anchored off a protected bay called The Bay of Five Pirates in Bullocks Harbour. Great Harbour Cay is the most populated island in the Berry Islands. Population 353.  Of these 353, we interacted with 11 during our […]

 

Grand Bahama to The Berry Islands

We arrived at Grand Bahama Island on Wednesday, April 26th. We spent three nights at the Grand Bahama Yacht Club in Lucaya. It was nice to be in a marina, we gave Ocean Song a much-needed cleaning and had some very good meals at the Yacht Club restaurant and a Greek restaurant, Zorbas, at the […]
