There are few marinas throughout
most of the islands in the Bahamas,
so you must set up your boat well for
anchoring and chose your anchorages
carefully based on the wind direction
and carry lots of supplies. What makes
the Bahamas such a fabulous cruising ground is that there are so many

anchorages in idyllic bays as well as
deserted coves to choose from. In the
Far Out Islands the anchorages tend to
be open roadsteads so springtime, when
the trade winds are gentle and there are
fewer fronts and storms from the north,
is the best time to cruise there.
After our Easter feast and wonderful strolls and swims off the deserted
beach, the group was game for testing
out drying out our boats at low tide on a
sand bank. Southerly Yachts have a fully
retractable keel and a metal grounding
plate built into the hull for this procedure. We knew the perfect spot - French
Wells, so named by French pirates in
the days of old due to its fresh water
supply - on Crooked Island in the Bight
of Acklins. It was a quick sail around
Bird Rock Light, then south through the
Crooked Island passage to get there. We
timed the tide right, retracted the keels
and beached the boats for afternoon play
on the shallow shoreline, swimming and
walking between Kered and Distant
Shores III, then pulled off at high water
after dinner to anchor properly in the
main channel for the night.
