Spanish Wells
After Hatchet bay, we sailed up to Spanish Wells for a very different taste of Eleuthera. Spanish Wells is a fairly crowded town on a small island at the very north end of Eleuthera. Filled with colorful houses and lots of stores, shops and more golf carts than we’ve seen in one place before!
The anchoring in Spanish Wells in pretty much non-existent, with 1 marina and a handful of mooring balls that have been failing recently. So we opted to anchor outside the harbor at Meeks Patch, a very wet and wild 2 mile dinghy ride that tested our waterproof bags. But it was a great stop and well worth the soaking.
Unfortunately, it was also a short visit as a good weather window opened up for the sail up to the Abacos. Weather rules!
