episode 7: exploring the berry islands - whale cay and a blue hole

Our good friend Danny from Los Angeles arrives to Great Harbour to join the summer friday crew for a week. We spend a couple of days at Great Harbour Cay Marina (this place has the nicest staff, great facilities and bikes available for guests to use). We spend a day at Shelling Beach - probably the most incredible beach we've ever seen, followed by lunch and drinks at Beach Club, a cool restaurant/bar overlooking the white sand beach. We say goodbye to Great Harbour and head for our first anchorage in the Berry Islands, at the southern tip of Hoffman's Cay, just behind Fowl Cay. From this prime location, we take a short dinghy ride over to a small beach that opens up a narrow trail to a 600 feet wide blue hole surrounded by lush trees and rocky caves. While the plunge looks a lot further down than 20 feet, the experience is totally worth it! After one final day of beach hopping, snorkeling and foraging for coconuts near Hoffman's, we sail south for a few hours to Whale Cay. This island has a fascinating history that Keegan is obsessed with so naturally, this is a big highlight of our trip to The Bahamas. *You can download/purchase The Queen of Whale Cay: The Eccentric Story of "Joe" Carstairs, Fastest Woman on Water HERE: https://amzn.to/2tZYrYj Our Berry Islands adventures come to a close as we sail over 40nm to the east end of Nassau, where unfortunately have to say goodbye to Danny. ::FOLLOW US:: Instagram: @sailingsummerfriday Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sailingsummerfriday/ Website: https://sailingsummerfriday.com ::SAILING SUMMER FRIDAY SWAG:: https://sailingsummerfriday.com/shop-sailing-summer-friday/ Are you down to summer friday?
