Osprey Cay at low tide - Bahamas Aerial View

24°20,37N / 76°35,71W Osprey Cay aka Sandy Cay, Exuma
This is one of my favourite spots in the Exumas. At high tide you can enter the shallow lagoon with less than 3 feet draft. But at low tide there is only 1 foot! With my Gemini Catamaran I can easily sit on the ground and wait for the next high tide. You should only do this in calm weather. When you want to explore the sandbars with a bigger boat, you can anchor in the deep channel at 24°20,51N / 76°35,87W.
--- I am sailing with my Gemini 105MC catamaran NIRVANA every year to the central Bahamas, the island chain of the Exumas. In the summer hurricane season I leave my boat in Florida in the Indiantown Marina near Lake Okeechobee and fly home to Germany.

23°28,36N / 75°37,53W Pigeon Cay - Exumas Hello, I just arrived another time in the Exumas. I like to spend many days here. It is interesting, how the sand is changing every year. The water colours are magic. Only once a day another boat is coming by. At the rocks you can snorcle around. Usually the anchorage is rolly, so best to go on a calm day. On the west side the beach is steep, so that yo...

There is a nice beach and you can climb the hills and walk on top of the cliffs. The trails are not easy to find because this cay is rarely visited. The video is not good, but it is the only one I have to show you this lone...
