Allans Cay, Iguanas

The first Island we stopped at was Allans Cay, which has a population of Iguanas. They are about 80cm to 1m long. This is the only island that they are on! As we came closer to the beach they all came out waiting to be fed. The signs all say dont feed them, we didn't.

The water is that wonderful blue, but that also means its getting shallow. The other photo shows the route into Compass cay, the slightly darker water to the right of the green marker is the way to go. Either side of that we could get stuck. So we go slowly watching the depth gauge.

Most boats travel at high tide to ensure the deepest possible water. The sea floor is sand and lime stone, this is also why the water is so blue.
