We Made it to The EXUMAS!!! Ep. 31

Today we are leaving Rose Island and crossing the Yellow Bank to the Exumas! Our first stop will be at Allen's Cay where we plan on spending the night. We are looking forward to exploring the Islands and experiencing all there is to see and do while there. The weather for crossing the Yellow Bank was perfect! We had clear skies and calm water with amazing clarity. Unfortunately we had to motor the whole way to Allen's Cay, but that wasn't so bad. We were able to use our boom tent for the first time and loved having the luxury of sitting in the cockpit in the shade. We would have died of heat without it. Allen's Cay is a MUST SEE!! We were blown away by it's beauty and couldn't believe how much there was to see and explore. We found that some of the sand inside was made up of shell fragments which didn't make for the best holding while anchoring, but found that by moving a few feet and trying again we found better sand. Beware of the large sand bars within the anchorage; We noticed while entering the anchorage that we had to zigzag around sand bars to get further inside. There were maybe 7 others sailboats anchored at Allen's Cay when we arrived, but by early morning we had the whole place to ourselves. By late afternoon 2-3 more sailboats showed up and soon after we were joined by several tour groups. The popular attraction on Allen's Cay are the Iguana Lizards. Tourists are able to feed the lizards snacks by placing them on a long stick and holding it out for the lizards to eat. It is NEVER a good idea to feed the lizards by your own hand, because they WILL BITE you. We heard a story about a 6 year old girl who got her finger bitten clean off by one of the Iguana Lizards here on Allen's Cay a few years back, luckily there were people around who were able to giver her medical attention right away. Later that day we left Allen's Cay and made our way south to Highborne Cay, but we'll share that in the next video!
