if you do not want to transit up the busy east coast of fl & you have the time, & you want to leave the keys @ key largo you can go on to the biminis, go through gun cay cut, on to chub cay & clear. then cruise the berrys. at the north end of the berrys you can cross to mores island to cave cay(bight of abaco)(spence rock pass carries about 5.5ft @ mid to high tide). that puts you 1/2 a day to green turtle cay. this route is mostly anchoring & not much marina hopping.

Back in the day, cruise ships attempted to make Baker’s Bay a landing depot with all the amenities but discovered they couldn’t predict the conditions (“rage”) in the Loggerhead channel so they abandoned the whole site. The one thing Cruise ship lines need is predictability. After the Cruise line bailed it has become quite the “destination”. http://www.bakersbayclub.com/
I found it a great place to “end-for-end” my 250′ of primary anchor chain. The bottom was white sand and I dragged it all around in reverse. It did a great job!
