Allens Cay in the Exumas

 Ok, I am going to get serious with this whole blogging thing and start posting as much as I can. 

We left Marathon Florida on April 5, 2014 to begin our new life on the water.  We decided that we wanted to spend hurricane season in Puerto Rico.  They have a hurricane hole in Dominican Republic which is only a few days sail from Puerto Rico.  Hurricane season starts in June but the worst months are August and September.  Thats only two months away!  Because of this, we decided to bypass Bahamas this year and the $300 customs fee.  We left at 5 PM on a Friday, crossed the Gulf stream, over to Nassau and SE through the Exumas.  The pictures here are of Allens Cay in the Exumas.  The beaches were crawling with Bahama Iguanas, which are endangered and protected here.  Our boat is in the background.

They don't look like it, but they are pretty large and they come pretty close to you expecting food.

 In these pictures, you can see the amazing blue colors in the water.  The water in this little bay area is only 10 feet or less.  It is crystal clear and you can see straight to the bottom.  The starfish are reddish seem like someone placed them every 100 feet or so.  You think you can just reach down and pick them up.
