RunnerGirl26.2 Posted January 8, 2013 #301 Share Posted January 8, 2013 This looks like an interesting walk. I love to look at old gravesites. We will be there in a few weeks and not much of a beach sitter. Can someone clarify directions? Walk south after tendering. How long/how far? 1/2 mile? Anyone have waypoint marked/coordinates? Thanks much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks much. As you are looking at the ocean, walk to the left. It is quite a ways but easy to find...It has been 3 years since we were last there, but I remember thinking that we had walked too too far a and then there the graves were. it was quite interesting. We put conch shells on the grave stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vexorg Posted October 26, 2013 #307 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I'm going in December, but I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to make it to the graves while I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren1216 Posted October 26, 2013 #309 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Fascinating thread! Thanks for digging it back up, I'd never heard about this. Wont be there until January, but now we have something interesting to do. Sadly, in the most recent photos (which were nearly a year ago), the water was getting so close....

EatPrayCruise Posted October 27, 2013 #312 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Found this when I googled Olga McPhee...if you scroll to the bottom in the comment section, it looks like her stone is no longer intact as of December 2012... http://thesledgehammer.wordpress.com/2011/04/12/wandering-off-the-beaten-path-at-princess-cays/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I was there was back in January of 2012, and it looked like Olga McPhee's headstone was gone at that point too (if I recall, there had been a hurricane in the area at some point. There was also another object there that looked like something that could have possibly been another burial vault, but I couldn't tell for sure. Again, I'll be there in December, maybe I'll post an update at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moviegirlnyorlando Posted December 18, 2013 #320 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I was telling my husband about this today. We are sailing there Sunday and will be on Eulethra on Christmas Eve day. We may stroll up there and look, epsecially as I think the water might be too cold to swim, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skai Posted January 5, 2014 #321 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Some recent pictures of the graves from this last November: Further down the shore (around a couple of coves) there is also this sunken sailboat -- Not sure how long it's been there. The upper reaches of the Emerald Princess in the distance can barely be made out behind the trees on the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterbugohio Posted January 9, 2014 #324 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Very interesting thread. Amazing it has been going on so long. May need to try to find these in April. Can someone that has gone more recent tell me if it is still possible to walk along the beach the entire way (i know shoes will be required) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sminfiddle Posted January 9, 2014 #325 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I would love to do that hike (taking the road) but DW is not up to that much walking. We will hit PC twice on a 14-day in June 2014. Need a hiking buddy LOL! I'd be happy just seeing the Lighthouse and the 'lighthouse house.' ~sent using Cruise Critic app~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
