We anchored off of Bell Island for one night before heading around the corner to Little Bell.

Bell Island is privately owned by the Aga Khan. There is a marina being built there and ships, barges and equipment were arriving daily. The sand that they've dredged out has all been piled high on the far side of the island (you can see it from LIttle Bell / Cambridge Cay). The amount of lights on this island at night make you wonder if it shines like a beacon up to outer space! There must be twenty wifi signals at full strength, but they are all locked - Doh! C'mon, when you've got that much money, can't you just open up one signal so that we can check weather?!? 😊

The trip around Bell Island was lovely. The houses, guest houses, and beaches are beautiful. Actually the houses are magnificent. And huge. We got to enjoy the water which is still part of the park and anyone can anchor in. The Aga Khan will always have boat "neighbours" in his backyard!!

The colours of the water around Bell Island change to every shade of blue you can imagine! Check out the pictures. This was the best day for changing water colours!
