Again, THANK YOU. Yes, we really did screw that up ourselves. Wowza!

And yes, many learning experiences to be had from all this. Even if they are expensive ones.

Thanks to you and all the others for your comments. Very helpful.

I like this depiction a lot as well. I don't have my Bahamas Guide in front of me, but if I remember the warning in this was NOT to line up in the center of the cut as judged by the landmasses you could see, but to position more to port on the way in. This chart makes clear why given the below-water obstructions coming off of White Cay (which, is what I meant when I said Saddleback Anchorage earlier).

Though I realise in this case this doesn't appear to be the cut in question, still a good thing to keep in mind that driving down the perceived center isn't always right.
