Great Guana Cay has a beautiful anchorage in a large bay, very calm when the wind is from the South/East.  We stopped here for a day while waiting for the wind to turn northerly for a hop down to Georgetown.
 
One little advertised attraction is a blowhole which was going full pelt when we walked by it.  It was the best example of a blowhole we have seen.  There is an initial blow of a plume of fine mist, which goes on for three or four seconds, and then the water spout erupts.
