Swallens Cay, Exumas

Day #10: We finally were able to break away from the dock in Nassau and and cruise southeast to the Exumas. It was a little bumpy leaving New Providence Island and Five Fathom Bank lived up to its reputation of short, steep waves. The closer we got to the Exumas though the calmer things became. A last minute decision, based on the south winds, had us duck into South West Allens Cay. Our Garmin charts have a typo and call this Cay Swallens, which I kind of like better. So here we sit in an idylic anchorage--white sand beach close by and clear light blue water all around. Welcome to the Exumas! There's no picture with this posting as it's being sent from Nellie via HAM radio (Winmor)--no wifi out here. 35nm today and 345nm to date.
