Feb 23, 2015 Monday Nassau to Allens Cay

We left Nassau at about 7:30 and what a beautiful sail it was.  Now this is the Bahamas I remember with beautiful tourquoise waters as we crossed the Yellow Banks.  The Yellow Banks are very shallow, 10-12 feet, and Rich had to stand guard at the bow, looking for coral heads.  We got to Allens and the crystal blue water was spectacular.  This is why we love the Exumas.  Yippee, yippee, Rich and Kathy put down the dinghy and we got a dinghy ride to look at the prehistoric iguanas on Leaf and Southwest Allens Cays.  As per Rich and Kathy's strict protocol, Bitts and I were not allowed off of the dinghy to play with the iguanas.  Rich said they would slap me in the head with their tails, and actually that did not sound like much fun to me.  We then went to a little sandy beach where Bitts and I swam and ran in the sand.  Tuesday morning we watched speed boats come in from the cruise ships to look at the iguanas, then we were off to Shroud Cay.
