Cherokee, Abaco
Wednesday, May 7
We left Sandy Point Settlement early to go around the south end of Abaco and up the east coast. The north of this coast has a line of reefs and cays bordering the perimeter of the island with shallow waters between them and the mainland. This is one of the more popular cruising grounds for boaters. There are also larger communities with stores and services and established holiday centers. Several parts of Abaco were settled by Loyalists from the U.S., and have also provided havens for people looking to get away from the U.S. Civil War and later conflicts. We decided to stop early at an anchorage in Cherokee with a beautiful white beach and turquoise lagoon before heading further north to Little Harbour. Already we are noticing that there are more and more houses bordering the coastline, and the community of Cherokee looks wealthier.
In the deeper waters bordering this part of the coast, we saw two huge dolphins. They were obviously a different type to the ones we were seeing in shallower waters. They looked like those dolphins but blown up with helium as their fins and tails seemed the usual size but the bodies were enormous! We'll have to check the book.
