Sailing Deserted Islands - Bahamas

Have you ever wanted to have a tropical island to yourself? We think the Bahamas is one of the few cruising destinations where this is possible! The Plana Cays lie 20 miles from the nearest settlement, and they are uninhabited.
One theory is that this was Columbus' first landfall in the Caribbean. We can't get over the fabulous colour of the water and the miles of white sand beach. There is an off-lying reef so we anchor outside and bring the dinghy in to shore.

All 130 half hour episodes of the Distant Shores TV show are also available on DVD and download at:

This on-going television series following the Shards' global sailing adventures can be viewed on AWE TV in the USA and Caribbean. Watch it on Nautical Channel in Europe, Asia, Africa and many other countries around the world.

Out of all the cruising destinations I've seen on YouTube, the Bahamas seem to have the prettiest shades of that magical Caribbean green that we all wish to be in the midst of. Thanks so much for your high quality cinematography of this beautiful area, that allows us all the vicarious thrill of traveling on Distant Shores with you.

Blackbeard must of thought it was another world with the colour of the water compared to the murky waters of the Bristol Channel!
My village of Pill which is 4-5 miles down stream of Bristol would have had a visit from Blackbeard at some time or another I'm sure!
Also the last places John Cabot sailed from as he would have needed to wait for the next tide and Pill was the place to wait!
