Default Where is Elmo, uh Rick ... IN THE BAHAMAS???

Interest is heating up in the Bahamas, so here's a pop quiz. What island is this and where is it in the Bahamas? Love this launch, butter on the inside and blue waves on the outside. No need for roosters in life jackets to keep riders awake. Here's a hint, Yogi and BuBu would love the sound of the area. Sorry for the poor image quality. They are scanned prints from a disposable camera.

Hey JP,

I can think of few finer venues for a picnic than this island. Still, unless it is an alternate name I don't think that is it.

Other guesses? Here's another hint, it's in the details.

Other ideas? It is a great launch, not too far away and if you're taking in the Western Bahamas, you should know about it.

Rick, I see a small boat with a red canopy that looks a lot like a cruise ship life boat in one of the photos and a herd of people on a beach with beach umbrellas in another photo, this can only mean that these photos are in the vicinity of Stirrip Cay/Coco Cay???
I threw in a shot from Matheson Yesterday, busy with the Easter weekend coming up but everyone was well behaved. I got away from the crowd and went on a tangent in the bay.

Good guess but it is a bit further south. I had no idea how many islands comprise the Berrys, there's a ton of them!


Let me think of another clue ...

in addition to "it's in the details"

How about, "there's gray, then there's black and ...."

Cryptic, the mystery continues, probably for not much longer!


Great shot btw, made it photo of the day!

Default My guess is Alders Cay

Looks like it could be Alders Cay in the anchorage area...

It is White Cay situated between Saddleback and Devil Cay in the central Berrys. I wonder how many other cays are similar throughout the Bahamas? Lots of ground to cover over there.

We stopped by on a Windjammer Cruise several years ago. Great kiting venue.
