I plan on cruising the Bahamas next January. Is landing on East Plana Cay forbidden? Do you know the depth surrounding the island or how close you are allowed to go?
Thanks,
Curtis
Curtis: try contacting Bahamas National Trust, http://www.bnt.bs/
I don’t know what the current access situation is. The sea around the island is shallow, but with a small boat landing shouldn’t be a problem, I think.
I just assumed it was forbidden because you didn’t land there. I checked flickr and found a few pictures of people camped there. It is one of the places I hope to go, so I’ll check into it when the time comes. Thanks for this write up on the Bahamas, I plan to put it o use.
We didn’t land because it was not in the study plan or something like that – we didn’t do any landings the whole trip.
