The Glass Window - Eleuthra

March 2, 2007 - Once clear of the turbulent waters at the end of Current Island we enjoyed a 30 mile sail in l0-l5 knot south winds along the Bight of Eleuthra to the Glass Window.
The turquoise colour of the water here has to be seen to be believed.
The Glass Window is a rock formation where the serene turquoise Bight of Eleuthra waters almost meet with the restless cobalt blue waters of the Atlantic. It was originally a natural rock bridge 85 feet above sea level but in l926 it was washed away in a hurricane. In l960 a bridge was constructed to allow the Queens Highway to cross the land which is high on either side but falls away abruptly nearly to sea level, for all practical purposes, dividing Eleuthra in two.
On Halloween day in l991 a rogue wave picked up the bridge and moved the northern end 7 feet westward to where it sits today.
