Long Island, Bahamas

We spent a week anchored in a number of places around Long Island.

Little Harbor was a reasonably calm harbor that protected us from some Northerly winds that decided to blow for a few days. There were turtles all about, some sand roads to go investigating the very remote area we were in and reefs to go snorkeling around for lobster.

Clarence Town we hired a car and went to see the sights on this very very long island. We passed by lots of small towns all of which had lots of churches.
St Peter and Paul Church in Clarence Town was pretty impressive with its 40ft towers to climb and see the 360 view.

Dean’s Blue Hole the worlds deepest blue hole, which plunges 200 meters to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with the oval at the surface ranging from 25 to 37 meters. The platform in the middle is for free diving competitions, to me a crazy sport. P1050623

The Outer Edge Grill at the Flying Fish Marina was a great place to sit back and chill in the evenings.P1050636

Our final anchorage on Long Island was Calabash Beach at the Northern end of Long Island, which had a lovely white sandy beach and a nice looking resort. We awoke to a very flat ocean and so motored over to Georgetown in the Exumas.
