S. Andros offers world class shoal cruising, fly fishing the flats, diving and kayak/ eco touring, all in easy range of the MacGregor.
Lots of safe harbours and anchorages.
You'll never sit at the dock because of rough seas here...cruise outside the reef on good days, inside on not so good days, or cruise miles of Bights and inland creeks on a bad day outside.
There are so many different areas of S. Andros to explore that if you used 5 days per yr.x 3 yrs. you'd never have to cover the same area(s) twice.
WESTERN CANADIANS SHOULD NOTE THAT WESTJET HAVE DIRECT FLIGHT TO NASSAU FROM CALGARY.
