Criusing news from Andros
Cruising News: We just got back from 2 weeks in Andros, cruising from Morgan's Bluff to South Bight. The best (really the only) fuel stop is Patrick Romer's Esso service in Morgan's Bluff (329-2519). There was no fuel in Fresh Creek, unless you want to bring it in in barrels, which the dockmaster Jerry at Andros Lighthouse Marina in Fresh Creek can arrange. We stayed several nights at Andros Lighthouse Marina, and took a beautiful dive trip with nearby Small Hope Bay Lodge. Andros lighthouse Marina has wi-fi, water electic, laundary, and a good restaraunt. Also spent several nights at anchor in Lisbon Creek on South Bight. It is very well protected and has a very well marked enterance channel, but the holding was not so good – a bit scoured out. Leroi Bannister, owner of Bannister's Guest House and the Aqua Marine Club, has a couple of moorings available there. Lisbon Creek is a wonderful friendly settlement woth a visit. On the way back North, we stopped at Staniard Creek, a few miles north of Fresh Creek. The Yachtsman's Guide suggests this as a nice ancorage, just inside the creek mouth. However, there is a new devlopment going in there called Coconut Grove, and they are trying to restrict anchorage there – we where told it is "private". We anchored farther up the creek by the settlement, but that will not work if you draw over 3 feet. Staniard Creek is another wonderful friendly little place, apart from the jerks building Coconut Grove.
