    This is good for an overnight stop, or a weather wait. It is hard to get a set here because of the weeds on the bottom, but once you do, it's a mostly protected anchorage. Good place to wait for a nice day to cross over to Nassau, although you will get some fetch from a north wind here. You can slide over to near Bird Cay if the wind and fetch gets too bad.

    We've been staying here since 1987 when coming to Nassau by boat. Good marina, wooden docks but in good condition. Electricity has always been good for us. A lot of current can come through Nassau Harbor, so be ready for that when docking if it's not slack tide. And you can get some rocking in a cold front. You have a nice restaurant on site, and a good marine store right across the street. Bathrooms are okay, and we have found security to be very good in the marina. I wouldn't go anywhere after dark from here, but it's a fun walk to the fish fry shacks under the bridge for lunch.
