When we left GTC we went south, briefly heading into the Atlantic via the Whale Cay passage. While the passage is usually calm, it can be subject to what is called a rage, where waves are breaking. This is bad, as breaking waves sink boats. So every morning on the VHF radio people share their observations in or at least near the passage to see if it is navigable.
Our next stop after the passage was Great Guana Cay, home of the world famous bar called Nippers (world famous at least to boating people). You see Nippers t-shirts everywhere boaters are.
It looks out over the Atlantic at a beautiful beach and reef.
We were at least twice the appropriate age for Nippers. After a few drinks, some conch, and a run through the pig roast buffet we rolled back to the other side of the island where our boat was moored.
Facing our boat was another bar called Grabbers. Our boat is in the middle there somewhere.
Later that evening the moon was rising over the bar, so the shot below is from our boat looking back at Grabbers.
The sunset was beautiful.
These were our good experiences in Fishers Bay at Great Guana Cay (foreshadowing).
