SPANISH WELLS CAY (ELEUTHERA)

We arrived in Spanish Well Cay on January 17 after a 10 hour sail from Little Harbour, Abacos, down to Royal Island before mooring in Spanish Cay. This Cay is a small fishing community just west of the island of Eleuthera. Their dialect is English with a touch of British. Although there are quite a few cars on this small island, the common means of transportation is golf carts. We find golf carts all over the Bahamas. The only way on or off the island is a boat. You can take a water taxi to the main island of Eleuthera or the big fast ferry around Eleuthera to Harbour Island, on the east side of Eleuthera. It's a sight to see a car being taken on a boat to the main island. Perhaps they have an appointment that is some distance away. We have met Americans that have purchased a house here and live here during the winter months. They spend their summers in New England. That's the way to do it!
