Bahamas Reef Claims a VICTIM | Navigating The Devil's Backbone!!! | EP37

As we continue sailing our Nordhavn N41 through the beautiful Bahama Islands, each destination reveals its own unique charm and character. We have visited Bimini, The Berry Islands, Nassau, places in Exuma like Staniel Cay and Georgetown as well as other places in Eleuthera but nothing prepared us for the beauty of Harbour Island. In this week’s episode, we arrive at Harbour Island, home to the famous pink sand beaches and a reputation as a playground for the rich and famous—and we quickly discovered why. Whether you’re visiting Harbour Island by plane or arriving by boat, this incredible destination has so much to offer! From world-class restaurants and rich local history to unique, boutique-style resorts unlike any you’ve experienced before—there’s something here for everyone. Join us as we explore it all! But getting here wasn’t easy. To reach Harbour Island, we had to navigate the infamous Devil’s Backbone, a treacherous reef path just off Eleuthera that has claimed more than its share of victims—including one of our own (watch to find out what we lost!). Join us as we explore the stunning pink sand beaches of Harbour Island, feed wild sea turtles, snorkel ancient ruins, and soak in everything this amazing island has to offer. From cozy historic coffee shops to bustling superyacht marinas, this stop in the Bahamas has it all. ________________________________________________________________________________________ ⚓ STUFF WE LOVE (and actually use) These aren’t just random links — this is gear we use on Ruth Pearl all the time.
