Grounded in the Bahamas - Exploring Staniel Cay and the Famous Thunderball Grotto! - Ep 19
February 11, 2021 by Sailing Jibsea | Language: EN Play Time: 00:20:51 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We had a great time in Staniel Cay. Steph tries doing some good old fashioned hand washing/boat laundry for the first time and then we head off to The Thunderball Grotto which really is a must see when cruising the Exuma Cays. The underwater cave system was definitely an adult playground for us and we recommend going at slack tide.
The anchorage in front of the Staniel Cay Yacht Club was a bit shallow and we did run aground, luckily it was low tide and soft sand! Navionics lied to us for that particular area! Stay tuned til the end for the first “Steph Bakes” segment.
Enjoy!
