Then why stop at West End?! It's really not very representative of the Bahama Out Islands anyway, so why not continue on to the Abacos with Connor to Green Turtle, Man O'War, and Hope Town, where time doesn't mean much to folks! The sign on the side of the bank in downtown New Plymouth, on GT Cay says it all:
BANKING HOURS: TUESDAY, 10-2

Every Tuesday, whether you need it or not!

But figure on taking a couple weeks to do it right, and being self sufficient and able to anchor out and sleep aboard gives you much more flexibility! Also no need to carry tanks, as the nicest reefs are in 35' or less, plus spearguns are illegal anyway, although pole spears and slings are ok.
