Exumas here we are

We left Nassau and sailed to Allen's cay in northern exumas. It's a pretty good place to his out when a cold front comes thru. It's also gorgeous and had a beach that's infested with iguanas! We snorkeled the coral heads in and around the cays! Lots of beautiful fish and gorgeous water! From Allen's we sailed 10 miles to Normans cay. It was a base for a drug lord in the 70's, it has a air field and ruins of his compound. It used to have a beach bar but like so many Bahamas places its being remodeled. We snorkeled a wrecked airplane in the shallow water in the anchorage, wow was that cool, there is a cool little island in the bay that had a lone palm and a bench under it. There is a monument with a couples name on it who must have their ashes under it. See pics below
