Sailing USA to Bahamas - Biscayne Bay FL to Nassau - Hallberg Rassy 54 Cloudy Bay - Dec'19. S19 Ep23
Night sailing passage across Gulf Stream from Florida to Bahamas. New Year celebrations in Chub Cay then exploring Nassau.
While anchored in Biscayne Bay, just south of Miami, we decide to head to Bahamas rather than directly to Cuba. Our overnight passage takes us east across the gulf steam and onto the Bahamas Bank just north of Bimini.
From there we have a wonderful overnight sail across the shallow banks, arriving in Chub Cay on New Years Eve morning. We celebrate New Year in Chub Cay Marina & Resort, then move the 25nm to Nassau, on Providence Island.
Nassau is a big cruise liner destination, with a very busy downtown when 5 ships are in port. But we rather enjoy the delights of the adjacent Paradise Island beach and resorts, visiting all that allow us in.
From Nassau, our intention was to head south to the Exuma Cays, but a young Australian couple on the boat next to us tempts us to instead continue east and cruise the Eleuthera peninsula and islands before we continue to the Exumas. 30 Dec 2019 – 4 Jan 2020
