Yup, there's Kuhela
Fisher Bay anchorage
Bill’s foot (actually metatarsal) is no better. If anything its worse and he has resolved to stay off it as much as possible. So we have decided to stay put for now back and explore this idyllic little cay. We have re-anchored at Fishers to forgo the $15/night mooring ball fee now that the most recent front has passed. Great Guana has grown up over the years we’ve been coming here with much more development: mostly winter homes ($1+ million). The “Snow Birds” stay several months and then fly “home” for their parents, kids, grand kids, etc. This is typical behavior all over the Bahamas. A new development at Baker’s Bay is under construction: a huge marina with channels cut all over the center of the area; a bulldozed golf course; home sites (lots for $2+ million); paved roads and underground utilities. This is all off-limits to anyone wanting to poke around.

(Baker’s was originally “improved” by one of the cruise ship lines to create a seaside, beach themed recreation area where passengers could eat, drink, recreate, and make merry on land. They abandoned it all in-place, literally walked away, several years later.)
This is the same stance Orchid Bay Estates has taken at the other end (SE) of the island, so one is now relegated to the central portion of the cay only. As this is the part with the “town” (hotels, bars, marina, grocery, neighborhood, etc.), it is somewhat acceptable. The very rich do not want to rub shoulders with the unwashed peons.

Easter Sunday was a time to hunt for eggs hidden on the beach for the kids and on the reef for the adults at Nippers up on a white sand dune facing NE.
