We arrived at Chub Cay, in the Berry chain of the Bahamas on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 after cruising about 35 miles from Nassau.  We fueled up, paying $6.80/gallon for diesel fuel.

The marina is located at Latitude: 25.41002 and Longitude: -77.90466. The dockage rate was $4.35/foot plus $30/day electric and 40 cents per gallon of water.  We were soon tied up in a slip on Dock C, right in front of the marina office and restaurant.  We received a short tour of the area and were told where we could find the infinity pool on the beach.  They had just started a construction project on the building by the pool and even though the pool was open, the pool bar was not.  We solved that problem by bringing our own drinks.

Chub Cay Club’s marina provides free WIFI as part of their amenities.  We ate dinner at the Harbour House Restaurant after having a drink at Harry’s Bar.  Both are on site.

Through the 1950’s to 70’s, Chub Cay was home to the Crown Colony Club, where Hemingway, among others, came to fish.  It was the perfect get-away-from-it-all destination for the rich and famous, home to fishing tournaments and boating rendezvous.  In the early 1990’s, investors flocked to the Bahamas buying up whatever land the Bahamian Government would allow them to take – Chub Cay was one of those.  Chub Cay was badly hit by hurricane Andrew in 1992, but little evidence of the devastation remains. It is now privately owned and home to the Chub Cay Club fishing resort and marina which opened in 2006. In 2009, the Cay went into receivership.  An article published February 17, 2012 reported that a legal dispute (that had been ongoing since the 2004 collapse of the $24 million resort) was settled.

There are nice floating docks here and although the pool facility is a little run down, it is still usable.  We found something unique in the marina – a “fish cleaning house.”    Inside, there is a table along the wall and a bucket to leave what you didn’t want from the fish.  There was a drain in the middle of the room and lots of water spigots.

A dockhand told us that if we followed the road past the church for about a mile, we would find the airport and a bar/restaurant, so we set off on a pleasant walk.

The island is be pretty flat and the road which we followed by was lined by Casuarina trees (which we call Australian Pines in Florida) which provided a nice amount of shade.  About an hour after we left the boat (some people would say that I stroll – not walk) , we came upon the airstrip, crossed over it and walked to a brightly colored building known as the Bonefish Bar and Grill.

We enjoyed a couple of drinks and conversation Solly, the bar man.  We learned from him that Chub Cay has been sold and the new owner of the island was due to fly in on a jet that afternoon.  About an hour after our arrival he offered to drive us back to the marina and we gratefully accepted.

In addition to lunch and supper, the Harbour House at the Chub Cay Club serves breakfast from 7 to 9 am.

We paid $9.95 for Rick’s two-egg breakfast and $11.95 for my no-meat omelet breakfast.  They included a large glass of orange juice, all the coffee you wished to drink, hash browns or grits and an English muffin or Bahamian toast.  The portions were large and I couldn’t eat all of mine.  Remedy is one of the long-time staffers there. When we were looking at the list of club members posted in the entryway, we noticed the name Ed Dunn.  Rick went to school with a fellow named Ed Dunn, who later became Florida’s Volusia County Sheriff.  Rick asked Remedy if he knew where their member, Ed Dunn, was from and he replied that he thought he lived in the Daytona Beach area – so that means, it is probably the guy with whom Rick went to High School.  We will have to ask him when we attend their next class reunion.

We left the Chub Cay Club marina on Monday, March 3, 2014.
