Spanish Wells, Bellaventure

 

Leaving Hatchet Bay

We leave at 8:30 AM heading for Current Cut an aptly named channel between Current Island and Eleuthera. We start with a rather cool morning 63 degrees when we wake up, blanket weather. Passage through the cut is best timed around high or low tides when the current is near slack, otherwise the current can run up to 8 knots in either direction. We pass through the cut a little early and have about 2 knots on our nose. The current only lasts for about a mile before we veer off, out of the current stream once we pass the channel between the islands and head north to Spanish Wells.

Bellaventure is at Spanish Wells and we anchor next to them. After a quick trip to town we have Bellaventure and Sea Vu Play over to our boat for Happy Hour.
