We left Highbourne Cay for the North Side of one of the Berry Islands. It took us about 12 hours to get there. We got to where we wanted to anchor at about 7:00 PM, just before sunset. We were the only boat anchored in the bay. The next day we left for Nassau, passing between the yellow and white banks, where there is coral head. We saw and had to avoid about a dozen coral heads. This is not a trip to take on a rainy, overcast day or at night. We spent the next day in Nassau, shopping downtown and at the straw market. We also walked around the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island. We felt like we were back in civilization. The grocery store shelves were full, unlike many of the other islands. On the trip to Port Lucaya, we caught two barracuda. One was eaten by another fish, probably a shark as I was reeling it in. All that was left was the head when I got it to the boat.
