ELEUTHERA IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND IN THE BAHAMAS AND IN TWELVE YEARS OF CRUISING UNDER SAIL, I HAVE VISITED ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THEM.
THE NAME "ELEUTHERA" IS A GREEK NAME FOR FREEDOM. IN 1627, CAPT. WILLIAM SAYLES SAILED HIS "ELEUTHERAN ADVENTURERS" THERE TO SET UP THE FIRST TRUE DEMOCRACY. (CHECK OUT eleutheradventures.com)
I HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK CALLED ELEUTHERA ADVENTURES, SPANISH WELLS, THE DEVILS BACKBONE AND SAILING TO FREEDOM WITH DIFFERENT STORIES BUT FEATURING MY OWN PERSONAL SEARCH FOR FREEDOM AFTER MY DEAR BROTHER IS KILLED IN VIET NAM. ALSO, THERE IS STORY ABOUT THE TRUE REASONS WHY THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE IS CALLED THAT, AND HOW THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE IS CONNECTED TO THIS DANGEROUS AREA, WITH DIRECTIONS OF HOW TO NAVIGATE THROUGH SHALLOW CORAL REEF STREWN SEAS.
