Whale Cay Passage, BAH
Whale Cay Passage, BAH
Whale Cay, located 2 nm south of No Name Cay, is famous among cruisers for its passage out into the ocean. This uninhabited cay runs for 1.5 nm and occupies a strategic position (in navigational terms) at the very point that the Sea of Abaco becomes too shallow for most cruising boats to negotiate.
Named for Whale Cay, which must be taken offshore, running "The Whale" actually involves leaving the Sea of Abaco via one pass and re-entering it on the other side of Whale Cay via another pass.

The Abaco Cays are the string of cays (pronounced "keys") lying along the north and northeast coastline of Great Abaco Island in the northern Bahamas. The Abaco Cays are world famous, so you've probably heard the names before—Green Turtle, Man-O-War and Elbow Cays, just to name a few. Between the cays and "mainland" Abaco are the protected, crystal-clear waters of the Sea of Abaco—as much a draw for boaters as the islands and communities around it.
