Great Harbour Cay, Berry Islands, Bahamas!!

Great Harbour Cay Marina welcome

   After 2 months on Grand Bahama Island exploring, eating, swimming, scuba diving, & making new friends, we decided to venture on to explore more islands in the Bahamas.  We had been watching the weather for the past week and Tuesday looked like a really good day (because the next week look too rough on the water).  Unfortunately, a storm front came through during the night which we thought would delay today's departure.  Thankfully by 8:30am, it had past and was barely raining.  So, we said final goodbyes to our wonderful Canadian friends and cruised out into the ocean and into Port Lucaya to fuel up and pump out the head.  The seas had looked a little bumpy, but we thought we would be ok.  So, back out we went into the ocean for our 65 mile journey south to the Berry Islands. The seas were kinda bumpy (we all arrived a little nauseated), 2-4ft waves near Freeport, then 1-2 ft seas the rest of the way.  We have heard that while there is not much to do here in the Berry Islands, but the beaches are beautiful.  We look forward to relaxing here for awhile.
