Port #60: Orchid Bay, Great Guana Cay, BS
Mooring: Orchid Bay – Dive Guana
.After filling the water tank and
giving Charlie a nice bath, we waved goodbye to Marsh Harbor and took a heading
for Orchid Bay on Great Guana Cay. The
winds always seemed to be blowing. They
had clocked around to make the moorings at Orchid Bay more comfortable.
We had planned to meet Dahri and
Doug on All In at Orchid Bay. Todd and I
came to know this fine couple at Bluff House Marina. Our timing was perfect. They hailed us on the VHF and were docked by
the time we took our mooring.

Great Guana Cay has two bar and
grills that are known by most who visit the Abaco islands. We chose Grabbers for lunch and Nippers for
dinner. Of the two, Nippers definitely
had the scenery.
 |
| Grabbers T-shirt Shop...yes, we got one. |
 |
| The first round of the Billfish Tournament started at Great Guana Cay while we were there. These sport fishing boats were HUGE! |

We returned to Nippers the following
day for lunch and to spend time on the beach.
The incoming waves were amazing to watch as they broke on the
rocks. We decided this was definitely
one of the highlights of our trip.

 |
| ...this wasn't a sign but it was on the way...think it died trying to get there... |
 |
| ...then it's just up the hill... |
 |
| ...and you're there...but this is the BACK of Nippers... |
 |
