We really like Andros. We stop at Morgan's Bluff every year. There are really nice snorkeling
reefs to the north about 2 miles and to the south along the back side of the barrier reef. The front of the Barrier reef drops off pretty quickly and is more suitable for
scuba. If you brave enough to try the inside
route going south I suggest you wait until late spring when the sun is really high. The low sun angle in winter and early spring makes seeing the numerous
coral heads quite difficult. You could always go south on the outside and back north on the inside, but be advised that 4.5 feet is pretty deep
draft for the inside. I had a friend in a Mainecat 30 drawing 2'9" do it and he touched bottom several times. Since there are really no plotted inside routes there is no way of knowing if he chose the best way through. There may well be places you can only pass at high tide.
Fresh Creek is an interesting little place. The marina was torn up pretty badly by
hurricane Mathew in 2016 and when we were there last winter it had much of the roof missing and was closed. The docks were best described as destroyed. I have no
current information on the Marina. You should be aware that the tidal
current in the creek is quite strong and the bottom is seriously scoured making
anchoring pretty much a non-starter. There are a couple of barrier islands just off shore and the holding behind them is quite good. There are a couple of small towns between organ's Bluff and Fresh creek, but I have only visited them from the land side so can offer no personal experience on approaching them from the
water though they have marked channels through the reef. I have not gone further south than Fresh creek though I would like to do so in the future.
