Sailing past Little and Great Stirrup Cays

North of Bullock's Harbour we passed Little Stirrup Cay and Great Stirrup Cay where the cruise ships bring their passengers to their "Private Island" for a beach day and for many water sports. We actually sailed right past one of the cruise ships that was anchored there for the day.

We came around the top of both islands and then headed south on the eastern side of the Berries and slipped into the anchorage just below Great Stirrup Cay. We were anchored right off of Goat Cay.

The Sea-doos that the cruise ship passengers rented whipped around us all afternoon. We took it in stride. Out here, it's an honour to be considered "part of the scenery". 😊

We also took the dingy over to Great Stirrup Cay to walk up to the lighthouse and go for a swim at the beach. (We were on the far side of the island, nowhere close to the ships' area.) We did however find the "airport" - a helicopter landing pad!!
