Rolling our way to Little San Salvador Island – En Route to Little San Salvador Island, Bahamas, March 15, 2022

Yesterday while touring the island by car, we stopped at Fernandez Bay to look at the anchorage.  It looked beautiful with a 5-star resort, restaurant, and white sand beach.  Unfortunately, it was too shallow for our buddy boats to anchor so after having our fill of no-see-ums, we ended up making a last-minute decision this morning after leaving Hawk’s Nest Marina to head east to Little San Salvador Island.  We had originally planned to simply anchor on north Cat Island, but with lots of time on a nice weather day, why not?  Since Cat Island is a small family island with less than 2,000 people, we felt like we had seen what it had to offer by car and were ready to move on. 

We were fortunate enough to have our friends Buddy & Biscuit join us for the trip and they brought a few friends!

We needed to anchor in Half Moon Bay and since Little San Salvador is a private island, owned by a cruise ship company, we needed to wait until they left for the day before we could drop the hook.  It is hopefully the closest I will ever get to a cruise ship.  The island itself is beautiful, but we didn’t get off the boat.  Sadly, it is a very rolly anchorage, but this is our only stopping point on our way back to Eleuthera.  It will be a quick overnight stay as we need to head out before the cruises get back in the morning at 7:00 am.
