We left Governor’s Harbour mid morning for the 10 mile sail south to Alabaster Cove, as it was only a short distance and because we are lazy 😬 we only put genoa and mizzen up but still had a fast sail and got to the anchorage by 12.30 and anchored midway between the other 2 boats already anchored there. With a sandbar that's exposed at low tide joining Pelican island to the main island it's a stunning anchorage. I loved that there were pelicans on the island and walking about on the sand bar at low water, it's named well. 

The fist day we were there we went ashore - unfortunately it wasn’t very sunny but the views were fantastic.

THe following morning was lovely, sunny and calm so we decided to blow the paddle boards up - they didn't get unpacked last year as we were always on the move or it was too windy so I didn't hold much hope for me being able to stand up on it ,but having knelt on it until we were in the shallows i managed to stand and made it ashore for another walk. 

  

The water was spectacular and crystal clear

By now our friends Tom and Janine on Kismet had arrived and we paddled over to them and Janine joined us for a paddle and a walk on the beach. 

The next day we went for a slightly longer paddle with Janine and saw rays and a nurse shark in the shallows. we also went for a snorkel with them along Pelican island which was good, there wasn’t much coral but there were a good few fish especially Angel fish. 

We Stayed 4 days, We are loving Eleuthera with its beautiful uncrowded anchorages, the 2 boats that were there when we arrived left the following day and 3 came in including Kismet so there were only 4 boats in this large anchorage 😍 unlike the 315 in Georgetown at the moment - Yes someone did a boat count and there are really that many boats there!

Janine took these from Kismet.

Lovely sunset 

 

and Sunrise the morning they left.
