This is a great way to spend the first afternoon on the boat. Take a leisurely sail to Buck Island, pick up a FREE DAY USE mooring and swim with some sea turtles, watching (and hearing!) them munch on the plentiful sea grasses. Also some small reef areas close to shore with limited fish viewing. You might have this place all to yourself by mid afternoon. Then head for Christmas cove, in the lee of Great St. James Island. Great Snorkeling at the rocks near the southern tip of the island, and a beautifully sheltered anchorage for a first night's stay. Don't go between the small Fish Cay and the shore, and not too close to the ferry traffic route through Current Cut either. Anywhere else should be comfy. Break out the rum drinks!
