On the way to Gun Key we stopped for another snorkel at the SS Sapona, a concrete hulled ship built during WW1 when steel was in short supply. Not completed before the end of the war, she was sold for scrap to one of the developers of Miami Beach and initially used as a casino and then for oil storage. She was then resold and moved to Bimini for storing alcohol during Prohibition. In 1926 she ran aground during a hurricane and broke apart and next became a bombing target for the US Navy during WW2. Finally, she is now home to many reef fish and a popular dive and snorkelling site.

We arrived at Honeymoon harbour about 17.00 to discover we had what was once the most popular anchorage in this part of the Bahamas to ourselves. Perhaps because the land bridge completing the harbour has now eroded making it open to more ocean swell and causing us to drag about 200ft before the anchor held.
