Highborne Cay has one of the most beautiful marina bar/restaurants in the Bahamas.  It is on a hill overlooking the cut, so as well as the brilliant water colours you get interesting wave effects as the tide turns, plus the occasional passage of superyachts negotiating the sharp turn in the channel to enter the marina.

 

There was a big Barracuda (4 foot) hanging around under Anastasia all day.  The seagulls are really pesky at Highborne (obviously fed by people on holiday who don’t have to clean their boats afterwards), so perhaps the Barracuda was waiting for hand-outs as well.

 

When we set off for Nassau this morning we put out the fishing lines and caught another Barracuda.  Barracuda are notorious for carrying Ciguatera poison so we threw it back (when we finally managed to get the hook out of its mouth).
