I was on Johnny Depp's Island in the Bahamas, Halls Pond, Exuma

We anchored near the sea aquarium across from Halls Pond and Bell Island in the Exumas. We were officially in Exuma Park, conservation area. After a little snorkelling, we ventured off to Halls Pond, we went ashore to the little beach. While I ventured up the road a little, Alex found what he though was a telescope in the bushes. But it was a security camera, he stuck his eye right into it. Imagine the securities guards thought when he saw a little kid looking right into the camera. They came over to inspect with their golf carts. They were very polite and asked if they could help us in anyway, they offered us fuel for our dinghy even. They never kicked us off the island. In the Bahamas no one owns the beaches up to the highest high tide line. After a few minutes we just decided to leave.

But we had a completely different experience on Bell Island, owned by the Aga Khan. They were very rude, forcefully with intimidation kicked us off. That was on a different occasion, after we had sailing virtually non-stop from the BVIs, and had not stepped for on land for 6 days. We said we would just stay below the high tide line. They didn't care they told us to get off the island, or there would be trouble.

Come sailing with Psycho Skipper Captain Ed in the Croatia or the Bahamas!
