On our trip south leaving the Bahamas we stopped over at a popular place to wait out weather and stage for the jump to the Turks & Caicos, a small island country on the path to the Caribbean. We entered Abrahams Bay after a fairly quiet overnight passage from Clarencetown and were mesmerized by the crystal clear water. As I stood on the bow looking at the bottom I asked Carrie, "how deep is it?", to which she replied "46 feet!" The morning sun refracted some beautiful colors off of the white sand below and the coral heads were easy to make out. We anchored and promptly loaded the dinghy with our snorkel gear and with our spears, headed out for a morning hunt. I only got one lobster but the variety of fish and coral was spectacular. We rested the remainder of the day, remarking how incredibly peaceful the anchorage was. There is a small fishing settlement on this side of the island but otherwise the plants and animals have the run of the place.
