After spending several weeks tied to a dock in Nassau, with its noises, chaos and strong currents, we were eager to head back out to more remote and tranquil islands.

On New Year’s Eve we set sail for Rose Island. This is a smail cay just a few hours sail east of Nassau.

Sitting at our anchorage at Rose Island later that night, we were still so close to Nassau that we were able to enjoy all the fireworks from Atlantis, downtown Nassau, and the other surrounding communities on New Providence Island. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the New Year!

During our couple of days stay at Rose Island, within a well-protected cove, we found a secluded little beach. It was what you would expect from a Bahamian beach. Clear water, white sands, and many hews of aqua.
