Cave Cay
One of the many caves that we explored.After our night of rocking and rolling at Big Galliot Cay we decided to move our boat to a more peaceful anchorage. The next island down, only a couple miles away, was Cave Cay. Our friends on the s/v Enee Marie were anchored out there as well, so we decided to join them.
Cave Cay gets its name because it is riddled with caves. We spent the afternoon in our dinghy, exploring all the island caves. One of them was so big that we were able to dinghy all the way into it- what fun! The many stalactites were hanging down from the 40 foot high entrance and there was a big school of snappers swimming right below us. Jay wanted to come back with his fishing pole to catch dinner, but the day got away from us and by the time we got back to the boat it was time for sundowners. So Scot and Sue came over, we grilled up some pork for dinner, and played dominoes late into the night. It was great fun!

Buried treasure on Cave Cay
My wife and I visited Cave Cay in the summer of '85 or '86 after we earned thirteen sailing trophies in the Abacos to win the overall prize known as the Victor Ludorem Trophy. After venturing to Cave Cay we buried five or six of the silver platters inside some of the smaller but accessable caves with just an inch or two protruding from the sandy floor. We have often wondered in any of these items were found. Don Moore
