Sailing JAEKA, week 12: Bahamas' Deepest Blue Hole & Largest Cave

This week we sailed to Long Island and made few stops down there. First leg was about 30 miles heading from George Town to the northern part of the Long Island. As always we fished, but got nothing. We have spent a night there and the next morning we started 40 miles passage to the middle of the island where we planned to anchor for a few days. First we went to see Dean's blue hole - world's deepest blue hole which plunges to 663 ft. This spectacular place took us some time to be discovered. International freediving competitions are held here annually. We also visited Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church that has been built by Father Jerome in 1947. Father Jerome's architectural talents weren't only limited to Cat Island's Hermitage. And finally (my dream came true) we were able to discover "old time" living by Lucayan Indians - Hamilton's Cave. This is one of the Bahamas' largest caves. Inside we easily were able to move, standing straight and looking up. We have seen stalactites and stalagmites formations between frying bats. Lucayans were thought to have lived here circa AD 500 and there artefacts were discovered in the caverns.
