Allen’s Cay - Jan 13, 2010
We had light winds from Chub Cay to Rose Island, E of Nassau. At one time we put up the chute but this was no success. Atlantis dominated the skyline of Nassau, we have a picture included. 

Because we had no need for shopping we anchored south of Rose Island in a little cave, was very nice and left for Allen’s Cay the next morning on Jan 13. We had a great sailing day (the best till now) on a beam reach; we just kept on going 5 to 8 knots, fantastic. After the anchor was set, just in between two little islands, very cute spot Jacques had unfortunately a strained back muscle and could hardly move. 

Ria saw the first iguanas for which Allen’s Cay is known. Jacques went for a rest to see if that would help his back. The next day we hopped, with me you can not really talk about hopping) in the dinghy and went to the beach where we were between about 30 iguanas that came out of the bushes to get some food. We only had some apple peels and an egg sandwich. But it was grandiose, great!
