Great Sale Cay-West

Location: Grand Bahama Island
Lat / Lon: N 27° 00.822' / W 078° 11.932'
Depth: 8'-10'
Tide: 2.0'-2.5'
Description:
Of all the anchorages at Great Sale, this is the only anchorage that offers some degree of cell service from the tower at Grand Cay. For that reason alone it will be attractive to many crews in settled weather. Located off the northwest side of Great Sale there is good protection from east through south and acceptable protection from northeast through east in winds under 20 kts. If there are northeast winds above 20 kts the anchorage in North West Harbour is a better choice.

Good holding in 8 - 10 feet. We stopped on the way to the Abacos. Easy entrance from the West and exit to the east without going around to the NW anchorage. Plenty of room for an overnight stop. Shore is accessible to a rocky beach.

Reasonable wind protection from East. Good holding, nothing on shore. Anchored right on spot. There was four of us anchored, room for many more. Stayed one night on transit to Abaco.
