Today we arrived at Allan's Cay(key), which is our first stop in the Exumas Island chain. The winds have been blowing none stop so we spent the last seven days anchored off Rose Island, which is located a couple miles outside of Nassau. The anchorage provided us with protection from the North and East winds, which like I said have been no stop @ 20-25 knots. But that didn't stop us, we spent allot of time snorkeling and were able to score our first conch, which Lisa turned into delicious Conch fritters. Nicole enjoyed some water skiing, while DJ mastered getting up on the wake board. I tried water-skiing but couldn't get my big butt out of the water. Our 35 mile trip down from Rose Island to Allan's was probably one of the bumpiest we have experienced so far. We new it would be bumpy, but their reaches a point were it is time to move on and you just go for it. Of course there was no risk to safety just an uncomfortable ride for all. This was also our first time eyeball navigating over coral heads. They were very easy to spot with the sun overhead and was not a big deal as the guides may have lead you to believe.
