Sailing Bahamas, Sailing Eleuthera - Nassau to Dunmore Town - HR54 Cloudy Bay - Jan'20. S20 Ep1
Exciting times: Narrow shallow entrance at night! Depth challenges getting into Spanish Wells. Piloted through infamous Devils Backbone passage, then exploring Dunmore Town on Harbour Island.
Our late decision to depart Nassau for Eleuthera meant we had a nervous entry into the very narrow and shallow channel of Royal Island Harbour, at low tide, in the dark and no leading lights! Once in, we hid from the next strong weather system for 2 days before heading the short but challenging distance to Spanish Wells. We literally bumped our way there, over the shallows! Rather than stopping in Spanish Wells we took the tide and weather window to continue onto Dunmore Town on Harbour Island, hiring the piloting services of Bruno to guide us through the very tricky Devils Backbone Passage. We enjoyed the delights of Dunmore Town and its fantastic beach for almost a week, while again hiding from another weather system. We nervously completed the passage back to Spanish Wells without a pilot, simply following our outward track on the plotter. Spanish Wells was a very pleasant surprise. We really enjoyed this small but prosperous little fishing community and its uniquely friendly people, before again heading south to cruise Eleuthera Peninsula.
