There's plenty of excellent sailing to be done in the Bahamas;
the islands offer gorgeous gin-clear waters and a seemingly endless
array of uninhabited cayes inaccessible by any other means. Even
around the most popular islands you can drop anchor at some remote
spot and enjoy sunny, silent swimming and snorkelling far from the
shore. The sheltered waters of the Sea of Abaco and Exuma Sound are
good for beginners. For the more competitive, or social, each
island holds its own regatta, usually in late summer; the best are
to be found on Exuma, Long Island, Nassau/Paradise Island, and
Freeport/Lucaya. Non-sailors can charter a crewed boat for a few
days of quiet and carefree escape.
