Abrahams Bay-Low Point Pass (West End)

Location: Mayaguana, Bahamas
Lat / Lon: N 22° 19.961' / W 073° 02.546'
Depth: At least 6 feet
Description:
The reef here breaks up wave action. From the Low Point Pass (west end) anchorage, if you choose to take your dinghy to the Abrahams Bay settlement dock, you have a long haul (just over 2 miles) to get there. Don't attempt it at low tide. You could be walking long before you get anywhere near the dock. If you really need the settlement, wait for rising tides or choose the Guano Point Pass (east end) anchorage.

We stopped here intending to spend the night with a very early departure for the following morning. Be careful entering and exiting as some of the coral heads get close to the surface. Best to enter and exit in daylight. We did drag a bit before the anchor caught. Waves are knocked down by coral, but you still move on the anchor. Ideally you might use this anchorage when winds are from west to north. We cut the stay short as a weather window allowed us to leave at dusk and head straight to the DR.
