Tuesday 18th - Sailed to Sandy Cay. This is a little confusing because in the laid back style of the Bahamas people in the past decided to name numerous cays after the only attribute they could think of at the time "It's Sandy". A bit like playing I-Spy on the boat and saying I spy something beginning with W. There's even a cay named "No Name Cay"!
We anchored where it was recommended but that left us with a long dinghy ride round to the other side. Phil wasn't happy and we ended up moving the boat around to the reef side which was a better choice. There's a big reef there with lots to see parrot, trumpet, french angel, yellow snapper, sargent major and a young turtle. I have have video from the gopro although it's no so exciting as being there. You really want a long lens rather than wide angle.
Sailed on to Lynyard Cay where there were a number of boats already anchored including a super yacht "Celestial". We went ashore and the Cay is narrow so it's a short walk to the Atlantic side.
Here's the Sea of Abaco side
and the Atlantic side
