If it seemed like we’d been in Emerald Bay for a while — we were! A total of 23 days. Our extended  stay was due to weather. Getting out of the Emerald Bay Marina cut can be treacherous in high winds. Finally, the wind let up and jumped out heading south to Goat Cay, where we positioned ourselves for the big passage east across the Exuma Sound to Long Island. It was my preference to leave Emerald Bay and make the big jump to Long Island immediately, but the sensible Kevin talked me into positioning at Goat Cay to wait out weather in Long Island. In this slideshow you’ll see the Goat Cay anchorage where we hung out for about two days. Goat Cay is south of Emerald Bay in Elizabeth Harbor near Volleyball Beach on Stocking Island.
