So sad to be leaving this spot! Although we had a rough time coming in and a super rolly night of sleep- the views topped all of that by 100000x. I’m a sucker for bright blue water and a pretty sandbar and that’s exactly what double breasted is. I think it’s even worse knowing that we are heading to what will likely be on of our last stops before heading back to the US 🥲. This was a quick sail (motor sail) up to Grand Cay, coming around the bend into the anchorage there was some strong current but short and nothing you can’t push through while motoring. Once in this bay it’s extremely calm and protected from most angles. The bay is super open so even if you drug a little there’s nothing to hit unless you anchor close to the rocks. It took a minute for anchor to set but once it did it lasted for days. The beach here is fantastic for fires as you’ll see when you visit- there are several fire rings, homemade tiki bars, big smokers, grills and unfortunately also a lot of trash. We did see wild pigs and dogs roaming the beach so beware. However they were pretty skiddish. Sunsets are beautiful here, mosquitoes not so much. Very buggy on the beach but not too bad at the boat but I would recommend closing up before bed. We fished on the heads and reefs all around the outside of the bay and it was hit or miss but we were able to stock up the freezer and have dinner every night. This was a great spot to spend our last few days! Super quiet- we were the only ones here most the time with the occasional 1-2 others passing through for a night to continue on to FL
