Trip to Allan’s was uneventful – skies mostly clear, light easterly winds, were able to do 6 knots most of the way; even crossing the Yellow Bank, a minefield of coral heads, was straightforward with few heads in our direct path.
Got to Allan’s around 1, dropped the hook and set off on a snorkeling expedition: highlights were a large nurse shark (perhaps 6-8 foot), a small leopard ray and a number of larger ordinary rays. We followed what we thought was a turtle with the dinghy but it turned out to be nothing but a rock on the bottom – oh well.
We ended our excursion with a visit to the iguanas on Allan’s Cay – always entertaining, these guys are the last of their kind in the Bahamas.
