Indeed the railing is visible. Reef is in view and over 1800 feet deep. Now, from where are you gazing, and at what settlement?

It was purely a guess. I have never been to the Bahamas except to fly over in a Coast Guard Aircraft on a search or land and medivac some tourist who did something stupid or had an unfortunate illness or accident. It just looked like the Bahamas so that is what I guessed. “Every time I open a bottle of wine, it is an amazing trip somewhere!” José Andrés

Sailing guide: From the waypoint HPTWN named for this destination, head toward Eagle's Rock. When the narrow concrete road is straight, turn and head directly bearing 149° as though you were going to drive onto it. Turn to starboard and proceed into this harbor. I’d think Mike and BEERMAN have traversed that course and into this harbor. Last edited by jphart; 08/20/2020 01:06 PM. Reason: Winner!

I don't remember seeing a light house in the distance when we motored through man-o-war cut, it was nighttime, raining and..... I was kinda busy on the bow with a flood light looking down!!!! We stayed at Abaco Beach Resort. Wonder how it recovered after the storms??

We sailed here five years ago, and two years ago rented a house on White sound across the street from the Abaco Inn. I hear they are making progress in the Abacos. Approach guidelines are from Dodge sailing guide. Tom: BVIhockey demurred, so guess you pick next.
