                           Manjack. Allan Pensacola and Green Turtle Cays


Man Jack Cay (an unihabited island) - one of our favorite places.
                                                               

   -Went  to Green Turtle Cay, Manjack Cay and Allan Pensacola Cay.  We're on our way back now going up the Abaco chain.
                                                    


Allan Pensacola Cay (an uninhabited island)- this is it for  structures on the island


     -Manjack Cay had stingrays and sharks that swam right up to you and fed from people's hands (not mine!!).  The tour boats have trained them to come to a certain lagoon and they will be fed there.
           -The sun has become way more intense more intense lately - we are getting burnt, and need our  air conditioning on a lot.  The temperature in the day is almost identical to the temperature at night and the temperature of the water.
     -The mail system over here stinks.  We are told if you want something to get to the U.S. find a boat and pay them to deliver it.  If not it will take maybe 3-4 weeks on the Bahamian mail boats.
     -80% of the people here are Canadians.
    - The water has warmed up and is now 77 degrees, 80 in the shallow water.
     _We went snorkeling on Great Guana Cay and it was like being in a salt water fish tank.  There were thousands of fish around us of amazing colors and patterns.  Just before we jumped in the water Bill saw a 4 foot shark.  It took a lot of bravery to jump in even though he assured me it was a nurse shark which doesn't bite.  
The stingray touched my legs and feet - it felt very soft, like velvet.
