Location: Allen's Cay, Exumas
As much as we hated to leave Morgan's Bluff it was time to go, due to the upcoming fronts. We met some wonderful people while out exploring the island. And saw just a sample of the great reefs, which make up the barrier reef that runs the entire east coast of Andros Island. It the third largest reef in the world, following the Great Barrier Reef, and the Belize barrier reef. We were only able to do a little diving but it is extremely beautiful.
We are now east of Nassau, about 35 miles. The group, S/V Cat Tales, S/V Kokopelli are all anchored in between the two islands that make up Allen's Cay. And it gives us protection from the 20 knts. of wind. So we are all tucked in and doing chores and kicking back. We were able to make water on the five hour sail from Nassau, so hot showers were the luxury of the day.
The sail over was a nice 40 mile sail to Nassau. When we entered the harbor, the Oasis of the Sea was at the dock. WOW that is one GIANT cruise ship. It is hailed as the largest in the world. And next to it, and real close, the people still look like miniatures.
But it was a quick run to the fishing supply store, dive shop, and grocery, and then we left the next morning for here.
The hunting/fishing here is good, the photo is of our first lobster from Allens, it weighed about four pounds !!!!!!!!!!!!
