We had a wonderful day yesterday in Allen Cay but this morning it already started to blow over 20 knots so we weighed anchors and left to hide in a marina for the next two days when the forecast says it will blow up to 30 knots.
Highborne is right next to Allen Cay, because of the corals you have to go out and around before entering the marina so it took us about 45 minutes to arrive. We were glad that we had made the reservation before we left Nassau because the marina is full and boats are still calling in asking for a slip.
Everything here is atrociously expensive, you have to pay 4 dollars if you want to shower, water costs 50 cents a gallon, laundry 10 dollars and the beach is full of sharks, nurse sharks which apparently are harmless, but they are big enough to put you off swimming. The marina brochure says they are "pets" and most of them are tagged so that they can be studies, but I am not so sure I want to be food for pets.
The cold front will have passed by Monday night, by then we should have left the marina and will go back to blackberry postings.
