Leaving Albert Town we went to the very south of Akinson Island, to the small Castle Island. Along the way we made three CTD casts in Datum Bay, reaching a depth of 100m. The island itself was also home to lighthouse keepers. Unfortunately, this lighthouse has also been abandoned and only the remains of buildings around speak of a bright past. Having anchored in a small bay next to another yacht, to which the owners – a young Polish couple with two children – soon returned from the shore, sailed across the Atlantic and are now exploring the Bahamas. The guys Pawel and Maria invited us to an evening bonfire with fried fish from Pawel’s “catch of the day.” Thank you guys for a pleasant time spent in your company and safe travels!
