Your nails are cute!

Add to my own reply, Sunnier Palms is doing well in its recovery with pool/hot tub as nice as ever and the campground full of RVs and tent campers.

Time flies it has been 4 weeks since we went back……..the lugging of gear to/from little Mud is a deterrent for us. Im a minority, but I would rather they just made the existing sand lot three times as big and graded it now and again.


We did visit Sunnier Palms for the first time in a long while. They are recovering from the traumatic Tornado hit fairly well. It was nice to see pool/hot tub area up and running and campground full of RVs and tent campers.

We never skip the dessert, but usually skip their flavor of rum which isn’t our cup of tea.

Thanks for the update - super helpful for the next marathon trainee!

I always bring mask and snorkel.....no fins. I prefer to snorkel without them anyway.

looking forward to trying this one in May.

I agree with Carol, it was a nice read. We went to Eleuthera in 2024 and really enjoyed it, other than the flights from Nassau in the small worn out shells they call airplanes. We stayed right near Tippy's at Pineapple Fields, which besides Tippy's had a few other good places to eat. We went up to Harbor Island for a day, bridge was open both there and back but closed for a few days after so lucked out but learned that you want to be on the side you need the days you are arriving and leaving the island. We also went to the south end, not all the way to Lighthouse Beach. Enjoyed stops at several pubs/beach bars along the way both directions, we could see spending a lot more time on this island. It is a nice change of pace, and while you see it has changed a lot in 30 years it is still so much less developed than a lot of other islands we have gone to.

I am sure we will be back, we also want to visit some of the other islands like Exuma. Thanks for the read!

Enjoy your trip!

While @Jeannius is right about getting a berth in the port, it is very important to check the swells for the timeframe involved - I've seen it come into Gustavia and clear the concrete docks before. This swell can rip lines and make transferring from the dock to the boat very dangerous.

ALL of the mooring balls around Gustavia are private and may not be used. There are free public mooring balls at Anse Colombier and Ile Fourchue. These are well-maintained.

My favorite anchorage is Anse Colombier, preferably the moorings on the northern side of bay. With a fast planing dinghy and settled conditions, it is not a long way into Gustavia.

The private mooring balls make anchoring a bit more complicated just outside of Gustavia and the bottom has good holding in sand but it is 20-25 feet deep so you will have to put out a lot scope. I generally anchor closer to Les Gros Islets but if there's space off Plage Public I go there.

Never say FINAL report because we hope you return. Last report is always sad. Safe travels home.
