Bridges Cay Anchorage
26° 21.1′ N · 76° 59.9′ W
An unofficial lee off Bridges Cay on the Great Abaco side that is one of the only westerly-wind shelters south of Elbow Cay, and a good place to stage for an early exit through Little Harbour Bar.
Practical
Excellent sand holding - use only in westerlies; exposed to everything else. Dead calm in the lee in W 15-20 kt (Dec 2018 report). ActiveCaptain community reports date from 2011-2019, before Hurricane Dorian (Category 5, Sept 1, 2019) hit Abaco; re-check bottom, markers and businesses locally.
Best for
Westerly-wind night before a Little Harbour Bar departure
