This Island amazes you with it's beauty..
Echo Bay
Shallow Bay
We were there with our boating gang last week, and we had a great time yet again. We walked the dogs, we walked the trails, we dinghied (some of us all the way around the island) and we ate like kings.
Sucia is a secret island, beloved by many American boaters, pristine with numerous bays to choose from, all with beautiful views. It is beloved by Canadian boaters for just the same reasons. It is a wonderful stopping over island on your way north or south. It deserves a longer stay, (depending on your water and generator capacity -there are no services), as there is so much to see and do. Know your winds and pick the right bay for the conditions, there is a sheltered bay for which ever way the wind blows. You won't be disappointed.
This time we stayed at Fossil Bay and really enjoyed it. This bay has two docks and a number of mooring buoys, plus lots of anchoring space. Dave and Barb on Invictus got there first and secured a mooring buoy which they shared with George and Lorna's Playtime for the first night (apparently not allowed if you are over 35 ft - oops!) and then we had to anchor separately as the docks were quite full.
Which leads me to my next point, this island is very popular! We have been there many times in the last few years and I have never seen all the bays as filled with boats. Calm conditions I'm sure helped as did the beautiful sunshine.
