Re: No Name harbor anchorage
It s always packed. You re better off anchoring on the west side of KB just south of KBYC unless it's really blowing from The west
We re heading back to the Exumas this week end, we need to be in Gtown by Wed. Probably leaving Sunday morning early as Wind will pick up Sunday night. Monday thru Wed doesn't look good so we re planning on running straight thru to the Exumas. Will probably cross at 20/22 to Cat and then hull speed the rest of the way
From Dania you could leave out of Port Everglades. You ll loose a little bit of speed in the stream but not worth coming to Miami.
Re: No Name harbor anchorage
Actually tonight s forecast has shifted and Monday looks real good. But building up in the evening
Re: No Name harbor anchorage
Another alternative is Miami Marine Stadium; good in almost any wind condition.
Re: No Name harbor anchorage
Thank you Pascal. I reviewed your post re going to Berry's and anchoring out to dingy to nearby island and
we were planning on following your suggestions re provisioning and fueling in Nassau prior to crossing over to
Highbourne Cay to start our cruise of the Exumas. I will be following the weather closely and may cross directly
to Bimini to get through the gulf stream quickly than head south to clear in at Cat Cay. Our plan was to spend
the night at Cat Cay per Fanfare's suggestion as it would be a long day for the Admiral to go directly to
the Berries. Since it is our first trip over I am trying to make it as relaxing as possible for the Admiral with
the hope that I can allay her fears and have repeat trips. I will send you a PM.
Re: No Name harbor anchorage
Cat cay isnt much further even from FTL. The entrance is easier and clearing is much faster than BIM.
Anchoring out around Chub or Bird isnt going to be fun with 20kts tuesday - thursday.
Easiest place to fuel in NAS is harbor central, on the south side of harbor before / west of bridges and Bay street narina. Much better dock than decrepit hurricane hole and same price.
