Two days with light winds out of the south provided us an opportunity to explore Little Exuma which doesn’t offer much anchorage protection from the prevailing easterlies. But with light winds out of the south forecast, we motored about 5 miles south to Pigeon Cay off Little Exuma and felt like we were in another world as we were the only boat to be seen. Anchoring off a beautiful sandy spit, we weren’t terribly successful snorkeling but found a small cay that we could swim under and through and another cay that had a cave that we entered from the water but could crawl out the back end onto a beach. Both cays were worth the morning stop then we motored through the shallows to Pelican Cay. Pelican Cay is a very small cay just a few hundred yards from the gorgeous Tropic of Cancer beach - so called because it is located very close to the Tropic of Cancer (23° 26.23’North) on Little Exuma with yet another cave waiting for us to discover. As we so enjoyed our spot and as the forecast seemed conducive to a quiet night despite being quite exposed to the ocean, we decided to stay the night at Pelican.
