We’ve spent the last few weeks escaping the winds of Eleuthera… or at least trying to.
Our cruising pattern in Eleuthera feels like two days of sailing weather then four of hiding from the wind then repeat. On the positive side, we’re getting really good and weighing and dropping the anchor.
Our trip began with the WORST anchorage we’ve had to date against Egg Island; then improved as we take up hiding behind Meek’s Patch – both sides – with a brief pause to explore Spanish Wells. We fully intended to go through North Eleuthera to celebrity-popular Harbour Island but the warning on the charts reads, “Do not attempt passage through the Devil’s Backbone, one of the most notoriously nasty stretches in the Bahamas, without the services of a local pilot.”
Warning taken.
Instead we head South through Current Cut and onto the Eleuthera Sound to explore the area around the Glass Window Bridge.
The anchorage had us second-guessing ourselves, but it held just fine – giving us the opportunity to go ashore and explore the bridge are including stops at the Cow & Bull, the blow hole, and the Queen’s Baths (…and of course stop for cocktails).
It’s all in a working week escaping the winds of Eleuthera!
Just a reminder: We upload as regularly as we can… but only if we genuinely have something to post. We know that’s not exactly “algorithm friendly” but it feels right to us. Unfortunately, this means we may not show up in your feed as often as you want us too. To make sure you don’t miss an episode, please subscribe to our channel.
