Bay of Five Pirates, Berry Island chain (anchored)
March 21, 2022
The anchorage side of the island is made up of layers of limestone. There’s no beach on this side – the water comes to the rock.
On the other side of the island there are gorgeous sandy beaches. We decided to walk over to check it out. It was gorgeous with fine sand and it was absolutely deserted.
There was a lot of wind pushing waves. There are tiny cays visible from the beach with waves slamming up on them. It’s good to be at anchor in the bay and not getting bounced and blown around.
On the way back to the marina we got a ride and a mini-tour from a local. There’s other beaches to explore while we are here waiting for the next window.
The marina close to us has a few connections to local services. We were able to order bread which will be delivered tomorrow and we can order fresh eggs, too. They also had a sign for a dinner in the marina which sounded great – chicken or ribs or shrimp kebabs.
Time is really different here. Although we boaters were all in place at 6:30, it took a while for our food to come out… and then each order came out on its own. The couple we were sitting with got their food about 10 minutes after we did. It tasted amazing but we didn’t get to eat until almost 8:00. We’re learning that Bahama time is what it is and not to rush

YES – you are living on “island time.” It is sort of like “Alaska Time” from what I hear. Things happen when they happen. There is little planning. The weather controls sos much in Alaska, and everyone just rolls with it.
RELAX and ENJOY!
