Robert,
As Paul and Melanie have said Angel Fish Creek is a good jump off point for Gun/Cat Cay. No Name Harbor is alright for Bimini because the Gulf stream is going to offset you quite a bit to the North (don't underestimate it). Also from Marathon you can make an overnighter to South Riding Rock south of Cat Cay, and it will put you right on the banks. You can then either leisurely sail north to Cat Cay and clear in or head across the banks to Chub Cay for clearance. Beautiful waters wish I was going again !!!

Hi,
Carolyn and I will be headed for the Bahamas before too long and need
some advice. We will be sailing from Texas and hope to sail across to
the Dry Tortugas, then work our way up to around Marthon/Long key
area. Then jump across to Bimini when the weather window is good. My
question is, is this a good area to wait and cross or should we go
further up to the No Name Harbor area.
