Monday 4/27/09 thru Thursday 4/30/09 Anchor up at 11:07 am and off to Highborne Cay where we spent some time on the way into the Exumas. The wind was still whipping at around 25 knots which again made for a lumpy ride. To soften the ride I employed an old sailboat tactic of tacking so that we were hitting the waves at an angle instead of them hitting us broadside. Much better! Again we enjoyed a meal catered by Cool Runner at Highborne. This time ribs for me and a lobster salad for Pam. Both very good but I must add that the ribs don't compare to the ribs from chef Moose back home! While at Highborne we tried to reserve dockage at the Nassau Harbor Club in Nassau only to be told each day that we tried that nothing was available. Seems no one was leaving due to the winds and rough seas. After 3 nights at Highborne we decided to slide up to Allens Cay and check out the Iguanas on the island. We anchored off the west side of the island close to a Bahamian Defence boat and dinghied in to the beach. At first it looked like any other beach until we got close. From out of the brush they came as if we had tripped a sensor on the way in. It looked like a scene from Jurrasic Park. Pam had cut up some veggies to feed them and they fought each other as we threw them onto the beach. Of course Pam stayed in the dinghy! From there we went to SW Allens Cay to a beach thinking we could sit there and have a couple of Kaliks. Wrong! Same scene all over again. Out of the brush they came! Back in the dinghy and back to the boat. We dug out the State Farm koozies and enjoyed the drinks without worry of attack.
