The crossing to The Exumas is treacherous. We were told to not cross Yellow Bank until after 11:00am, because you are headed directly into the sun and you cannot spot the coral heads- in six feet of water. A rising tide is a bonus, too, giving you an extra two to three feet. Who would have thought we would be thankful for two foot tides?
See enough coral heads? We were thankful to follow a charter boat we berthed with the previous night out of Nassau Harbour. We were going to go at a snails pace, until she picked it up into high gear. We guessed we needed to grow some cohones and follow her. Who runs 22kts in 12ft of water with coral below you? The ones that do this all the time.
We soon lost Allure, as we were doing 13kts to her 22kts, but we were also thankful to catch up to Daybreak, a 100+ft yacht, between yellow and white banks. We had made it through the land mine successfully.
We had two nav’s going , as well as your traditional depthsounder and side scan. 
We made it safely and are ready for some gunkholing in Allan’s Cay, known for their (fat) iguanas.
