Powell Cay

5/7/21

We are finally getting into the area known as the Abacos.  These are a group of islands that are generally higher than those further west, and with more distinguishing features.  More islands here are inhabited, and importantly, we again have cell phone service.  That’s important because we get our weather forecasts via email, and need a cell phone connection to receive that.

There are small towns in this area including Fox Town and Cooper Town as well as some inhabited cays.  A couple of the islands have remote marinas focused on offshore fishing. 

We are anchored tonight at Powell Cay, one of the uninhabited islands.  This island has a higher bluff than some other islands, and has trails across to the Atlantic Ocean beach.  The photos below show the island’s beaches in our cove.

We were also treated to a gorgeous sunset tonight, and to a restful night’s sleep.  That was very welcome.
