A brief stop at Hoffman’s Cay

We left Great Harbour Cay, hooked around the north side and headed down the Berry Islands.  We dropped our hook on the south end of Hoffman’s Cay near Saddle Back Cay.  With three other boats already there, we had to settle for some sub-prime real estate right off the cut in some decent current.  Though we were holding well, Frank didn’t feel comfortable leaving the boat so the kids and I hopped in the dinghy for a short ride to Hoffman’s Cay in search of a blue hole!  This was my first beach landing with the dinghy and the kids were a huge help.  And just when I was on the verge of giving up and trying another beach, they found a trail.  And boy, was it worth it!

I was so proud of them for having the guts to make the big jump from above!  Trent went first, then Katreina.  They had so much fun they did it a few more times and even went together once!  We were the only ones there and it made for a very memorable experience.

Unfortunately, our time in the Berry’s is going to be super short. There is a big blow forecast next week and we decided to head for New Providence Island today for the most comfortable ride.  It’s not what we had planned or hoped for, but safety and comfort are in play.  We should be anchored in West Bay by mid-afternoon.
