April 20-22 Allens Cay, Bahamas

We made the quick trip over to Allen’s Cay on April 20th. This is among our favorite stops on our trip. There is the main anchorage and then a small cove with room for only one boat. Most people do not pull in there because it is only 4 feet on the charts. Fortunately, we had talked to a Morgan that was anchored there last year when we passed though. To our delight, the cove was empty and after a drive-through with a close eye on the depth sounder, we dropped the hook and claimed it for or own. I am with the supreme captain and therefore am the envy of everyone....

We spent two days in Allen’s Cay, exploring the islands, collecting a few conch specimens and visiting the famous iguanas who, as I have told you before, chase red-painted toes. A thrill which never ceased to entertain me.

This afternoon, we bypassed Rose Island, outside of Nassau, and came into the anchorage in Nassau Harbour. We secured a good anchoring spot and have made initial contact with a stainless steel welder and a marina. We are hoping to repair the cracked stanchion on our stern pulpit whle we are here.
