Onboard the fast ferry from Spanish Wells to Harbour Island |
|
The ferry transits the Devil's Backbone, a notorious stretch of coral heads along the north coast of Eleuthera. Private boats are recommended to take a local pilot through this route and only in clear weather. The ferry does it at 35 knots on the edge of the surf. |
