Sailing Bahamas, Sailing Exuma Compass Cay Staniel Cay HR54 Cloudy Bay Jan20. S20 Ep5

Numerous sharks in Compass Cay Marina and ramming in the reef in Staniel Cay :( After 3 nights moored in Cambridge Cay, we navigate the tricky entrance to Compass Cay, anchoring in the channel south of the marina. In Compass Cay marina we observe the amazing family of tame nurse sharks, then venture across the beautifully kept island to an amazing beach. The next morning, we briefly anchored at the same beach to capture the scene on the drone before a very gentle sail south for a quick stop at Staniel Cay. Not a good day: on entering, we hit a reef, and were also unsuccessful in provisioning fresh produce. The shops were all empty After drinks and lunch in the Staniel Cay Yacht Club we motored back north, passing a whale on our way. Just before dusk we anchored in the shelter of beautiful Bell Island and had a sunset drone flight. 2830 Jan 2020
