ttmott, I hope we haven't hyjacked your thread. I'm hoping it's all in the,Abacos or bust theme!
Another little tid bit of info.
At Carters Cay, North and east on the ocean side reef, there is a sunken cargo ship. Maybe 150', in 20ft of water. It's neat to snorkle in.
Also, West of Carters Cay proper there is a hidden "hurricane hole" you can get to it from the Ocean side, or with a small boat the protected South side. It looks like a small inlet and river. If you venture in, it turns into a smallish cove, and continues on to exit out the South entrance. From the "cove" you can dingy around in the mangroves and it's fun to see where they go.
There is also a cay, unprotected to the south, West of Carters that's a great sand shoal area to snorkle, and even anchor up for the night if conditions are right. All along the Northern edge of the Cay there is a coral wall that holds many fish, lobster, shark, rays. On the north west side there is a sand beach that is wonderful for kicking back and enjoying the sun and peace and quiet! haha
At low tide, there is a sand bar that uncovers and is fun to run around on. Just be ready to get back in the dingy when the tide rolls back in. haha
It was in this cove that a HUGE shark decided to venture in and pick up a piece of discarded fish carcase....with my fishing hook in it! haha Well the rod went out of the boat!!!!!!! I could see it on the bottom being pulled around. I jumped in the dingy and followed it. When it got in shallow enough water, I jumped in and the fight was on!!!!!!!!!! He pulled me around that cove for along time, before breaking my line off. It was alot of fun though. My cousin said what are you going to do with it when you get it to the dingy? I said hell I don't know!!!
Something similar happened with a large ray also. Except I landed him! Well I got him to the dingy and touched him.
I'm ready for some island fun!!! Next week!
