The seas have been flat, winds light, skies grey for almost a week now. We have had quite a few thunder storms as well but that gives us a free boat wash so we like that. We anchored off of Malibar Cay next to Warderick Wells. It was a quiet place but the mosquitos and flies have been out in swarms…thank goodness for our built-in mosquito netting. Our generator finally died so we don’t have A/C which is a luxury you hate to lose.
Next Day we motored to Allen’s Cay. We made up our baggie of fruit and vegetables for the Iguanas (you are NOT supposed to feed them, but everyone does). We charged up our video camera batteries and headed to shore. We passed a major encampment and went to check it out. There were DANGER signs about the pesticide use they were doing. One gentleman was near shore so John inquired as to why they were spraying. Apparently the island has been infested with mice from boaters trash. With mice came the barn owls. The owls not only eat the mice but they interfere with the nesting of the Shearwater birds by eating the eggs…so the mice need to go.
Last time we were here the iguanas came out by the hundreds and today we only saw about ten.
Next morning at high tide we left for Nassau. I was excited to get internet finally and catch up on my emails, bills, facebook, etc. But it was not to be…could not find internet anywhere, even pay internet 
. We did walk over the bridge to Atlantis, won some money at the casino and left. It is beautiful sailing through Nassau Harbor. There were a lot of cruise ships in port today.
Jonathon bought some Bally Hoo bait for fishing as we head to Chub Cay (deep waters) and he already caught…you guessed it….another barracuda.
