I'm planning an Abacos trip in May leaving from Tampa. We'll take the Okeechobee waterway to Stuart and depart for the Abacos from there. I'm a little worried about getting into Walkers Cay which is the closest place to clear customs. I've heard it's kinda tricky getting in there, so my preference is to clear customs at Spanish Cay. However Stuart to Spanish Cay makes for a long day, so I'm wondering if it's OK to anchor out a couple of nights before clearing customs at Spanish Cay. We would like to go ashore a couple of places at some of the remote islands west of Spanish Cay, have to take the dog ashore too.
So are the Bahamian customs officials OK with that. I know the official line is you can't, but just wondering?
Thanks,
Tim
