I cruised for a total of about 24 months in the Abacos with a 5' draft boat. I had to wait a couple of times for the tides to get somewhere. That was generally 1/2 tide. I doubt you would have any real problems w/ 5' 6". You may not anchor quite as close in but mostly no one want's to because all the traffic then buzzes by you. You would still need to wait fo the tide in a few anchorages but traveling on the banks or in the sounds you will be good to go. I would miss it because of my draft. There are many boats there w/ more draft than you and they go. Our new boat has 5' 6" draft and I fully expect to go and enjoy the people and the diving.
