We’re there man! Although it really didn’t get nippy going through the pass, it was actually really warm, sunny and crystal clear water all from Nassau to Allen Cay. At times throughout the trip John was out on the bow looking out for coral heads that rear up from the 15 foot bottom! That’s right we sailed across Exuma Bank where you can see the bottom the whole time, and at most there is 20 feet of water, which to the eye, looks to be right under the keel. Talk about a serious rush that was quickly followed up by many small deserted islands with Iguanas bathing themselves in the sun, and beached white sand! Needless to say upon arrival Team Audax was all in the water swimming around and exploring.
After a delicious gin and tonic and dinner we are all spent but ready for more of the same to come. This next stretch along the Exumas is going to be short sailing days, lots of exploring, swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving! Not bad for a bunch of guys who during any other winter would be in Maine! (Which, by the way we have all decided we miss a lot, just not enough to head back just yet!)

Nice Dumb and Dumber reference. You had extra gloves the whole time? Yeah! We’re in the Rockies, Har….
