Atlantic Paradise, Nassau and the Northern Exumas


Greenstone, Summer 42 and Saber Tooth dinner at East Villa, Nassau the night before

Our passage from Nassau to Exumas (Saturday, February 19), we took the Yellow Bank Route out the back side of Nassau harbor, after a short 6 hour beautiful sail we arrived  in Highborne Cay. Departure from Nassau had to be relativly early to make the passage over the shallow Yellow Banks with the sun at high noon to improve the visibility and detection of the locations of the coral heads.The depth in Yellow Bank is about 10 to 15 feet. Passing Yellow Bank somebody has to keep watch for the coral heads and tell the captain "where to go" ...



Series of Saber Tooth taken by Jeff aboard Greenstone








We are anchoring at Highborne Cay besides this gorgeous sail boat (they get big here ... this one had to have been 100 feet long) ..there is a guy up the mast..


Watching the sun goes down as another "big one" comes in for the night. His dingy was bigger than Saber Tooth!


Our first morning in Highborne Cay..amazed to see the Sunrise


Really gorgeous!


You have to quick to capture it..


And this is the view at night...the moonlight..


It's really make us speechless to see the view around us..moonlight and boats..
