Monday 28 – Tuesday 29 December– Little Halls Pond Cay, Exumas Bahamas. A few miles

We anchored outside Johnny Depp’s private island for a couple of nights. The approach to the island is a bit hairy as one heads thru a 40’ wide gap between Bell Island and a major sand bar. Should only be attempted in good conditions and light.

The anchorage itself is rather narrow and at one time we swung towards a sand bar and our rudder touch the sandy bottom. We had to re-anchor and move 30’ towards the middle of the deeper water. Better sorry than safe as we say in Smaland.

No signs of Johnny the Depp. He had two mooring balls installed at the island and Maria amused the park rangers by stating that she would photograph Johnny’s balls before leaving. (They looked like all the others we had seen in the park)
