Ouch !!! What propelled you to buy an 8ft draught
If your hanging around the keys and Bananas.
I hope you got a big powerful
tender with it..
You can carefully get into a couple of places on
The way to key West..around
key Largo, tavinere
Area ,,and down Hawk to key West,,there are
A few deep holes that you can get into at high
Tide for
anchoring..
Bananas ? Across the top of nth
Bimini and the
Banks in deep
water,,down the east side of the
Berrys with a couple of places you can get into
If you need cover.
Then on to Nassau going in thru the main ship
Channel,,either
dock or find a deep spot to
anchor.
You wont get under the bridges there so if you
Want to go further sth.. Come out and go thru
Ship Channel
passage into exuma sound..there
Are cuts that you can anchor in on the way down
The chain but watch those
winter fronts,,winds
Up to 60kts can precede them..
You can get into
Georgetown bay but only from
The sth amd will still have to
dinghy a mile or
Two into town.....
I've carried 8ft across the banks, nudged the
Bottom a couple of times so unless your 9ft is
Made of
steel,,,take your time and be careful..
AND beware those
winter fronts,,they're getting
Nastier..
