I think we are going back to the Abacos again this June instead of the Exumas since this is my wife’s first extended time on the boat and I want to limit lots of longer open water crossings. Cross from Lake Worth to West End, which I think I can do in one long day.
However, if things go well and she’s comfortable, after the Abacos instead of reversing course and going back to West End, I’m wondering about the feasibility of taking the Little Harbour cut to Egg Island (about 55 miles) if I can find a good calm day, then exploring Eleuthera. Then to Nassau, then Chubb, then Bimini. Maybe. [emoji6]
Is that Little Harbour cut pretty easy in good weather? The chart says the Egg Island Cut is pretty easy?
It seems lots of people go from Abaco to Spanish Wells, but the chart I’m looking at says you need a guide to get through that Ridley Head channel to Spanish Wells, but maybe I’m looking at it wrong.
After Egg Island, would have to take that Current Cut I suppose to get to the Eleuthera Sound, unless I go farther south to the Fleming Sound. How is that Current cut? OK as long as I catch it at slack tide?
Thanks!
