It will be interesting to hear.Chuck and Susan;https://www.blogger.com/profile/04844233452744671062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665070556831726952.post-81665806604328311312013-05-21T11:25:42.773-04:002013-05-21T11:25:42.773-04:00Great detail and THANKS Capt Chuck.. Regarding And...Great detail and THANKS Capt Chuck.. Regarding Andros, I can say from experience that even though it is large, there is little in the way of a civilian boat to see or do. Andros Island is home to the US Navy east coast torpedo training range. The Toungue of the Ocean is deep and Submarines and Anti-submarine aircraft practice torpedo drops in this area. It is closed to civilian traffic.MR T's Haircuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07438865509732358855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665070556831726952.post-54618835680659473082013-04-19T11:42:36.472-04:002013-04-19T11:42:36.472-04:00We would love to avoid anchoring in grass.

But then that would eliminate most anchorages anywhere in south Florida and most of them in the Bahamas.

The ports are somewhat commercial and the prevailing winds make some of the easier access harbors uncomfortable. We don't have any plans to visit this time but may on another trip. The weather has kept us harbor bound too often so we will run out of time before spending time in some areas. The Bahamas will always be here so maybe we'll come back next winter if we don't go north to do the Great Loop this Summer.

Will you be stopping there? If not, why not? I find it curious that there seems to be so little interest in the largest land mass in the Bahamas. Any information would be appreciated. Enjoy your trip.<br /><br />RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
