Hatchet Bay to Gregory Town
Gregory Town will be our next port of call – only 4.5miles away. We sailed close to the coast and marveled at the rock formations and the homes that are built right on the cliffs and sometimes the cliffs have already been carved out below the houses – I would be quite scared to live…

Alabaster Bay to Pelican Cay
Since we’ve discovered the joy of slowly drifting from one anchorage to the next, we’d rather take Mama-Wana to the next snorkel spot instead of doing long trips with the dingy – it is much more comfortable and the change of scenery is also great. Pelican Cay is only about 2 miles from Alabaster Bay,…

Tom’s Rocks to Alabaster Bay
This little sail was only about four miles, but again, with light winds and a calm sea, it was a very enjoyable time and we once more thought it went by too quickly. The Bay have a large beach with sand banks going far into the ocean. Thank goodness for depth sounders because on high…

Governor’s Harbor to Tom’s Rocks.
Levy Island is literally just outside of Governor’s Harbor and the Bay next to it is called Tom’s Rocks. It is close enough to take the dinghy, but we decided to rather move the big boat and then take shorter trips with the dinghy. We haven’t been in the water for a few days and…

Ten Bays to Governor’s Harbor
Pau Pau Bay is only about three nautical miles to the north of Ten Bays and it was a very easy sail and very enjoyable. After anchoring we went snorkeling on the nearest cay which is called Sheep Cay. The water is very deep right up to the rocks and the visibility was not all…

Tarpum Bay to Ten Bay
A gentle breeze took us the plus minus nine nautical miles across the bay to Ten Bays which will be our home for a day or two. It is quite difficult to get to the beach with a dingy, because during low tide the sand banks run fairly deep into the ocean and you need…

Rock Sound to Tarpum Bay
As we approached Tarpum Bay, it looked like a very cute town with a lovely church on the water and a pier right by the town. As usual, the pier seems to be the local gathering place for men, some fishermen, but mostly just town’s people hanging out and having a beer while talking and…

Bennett’s Harbor – last stop on Cat Island
Bennet’s Harbor is only about ten nautical miles north of The Cove, but the other anchorages in between, didn’t seem to have any way to get on land by dinghy. There’s a gorgeous beach and very cute houses along the beach at Bennett’s Harbor as well as a government dock for the mailboat. Most of…
