CODA : Exploring Great Sale Cay, Bahamas.
13 March 2025
Great Sale Cay, Abacos, Bahamas
Great Sale Cay northwest beach (eerily strange light here).
Marc- Today we motor sailed halfway across the Little Bahama Bank in the Abacos. We spent about 8 hours on autopilot in light winds and had many boat encounters along the main transit route. All sorts of boats from a mail boat to a mega yacht. Whoever was on watch had to keep a sharp eye for incoming boats since many boats were on autopilot. Marine autopilots do not change course for you although some of them sound an alarm if you are on a collision course! We deviated our course once today.
Sue and I still have that itch to explore every new island we come to. When we arrived here we jumped into the dinghy and headed for shore. We found a deserted beach on a deserted island. There were lots of shells and pieces of coral, dead trees, plastic trash, and an aluminum engine block. We did not find the marine life described in the cruising guide book (in all fairness the guide could have been describing another part of this island).
Coda's dinghy.
We saw one special bird and Sue caught her in action. Her beak was orange.
We haven't seen a sunset like this since Bimini.

I think the bird is an Oystercatcher.
