Matthew Town, Great Inagua, is a great place to check in or
out of the Bahamas and pick up some scant provisioning. The real beauty of the island,
for us, is Man o’ War Bay in the northwest corner. Coming across the bay, it
shallows pretty rapidly from no depth (greater than about 250 feet on our depth
meter) to 90 to 80 to 40 to oh-my-God-we’re-over-the-reef. Thankfully, that’s
still plenty deep. We pick our way through the reef and anchor in clear sand
between the reef and the beach, laying back until our stern is over the corals.
Just hop in the water to snorkel! And what snorkeling there is! The reef is
scattered the entire length of the beach, so large that we can’t see the entire
thing even with a couple of hours in the water. Clear, beautiful, and full of corals
and fish, it’s always a treat, yet we’ve never seen another boat anywhere near
here. Their loss.
