Re: Exuma itinerary needed

Day one: Palm Cay marina to Allans Cay. Anchor up in the middle and go see the iguanas.

Day two: Normans Cay. Anchor off the beach on the west side. Dinghy over to the cut and snorkel the sunken plane at low tide. Call ahead and have dinner/drinks at McDuff's restaurant.

Day three: Shroud Cay. Anchor or moor on the NW side and take your dinghy over to the Exuma Sound beach via the mangrove canals on the south side of the island.

Day four: Get up early and go down to Warderick Wells. Moor in the northern mooring field (if available) or at Emerald Rock on the western side. Spend a full day ashore exploring one of the most beautiful cays in the Bahamas.

Day five: Staniel Cay Yacht Club. Snorkel the grotto. Go see the pigs at Big Majors if you must.

This is very good. But I'd opt for a stop at Cambridge after Warderick Wells. Snorkel sea aquarium, swim at Rachels Bubbles, and catch Rocky Dundas.

Oops, I just noticed you said five days. Well then if nothing else, I would swing by sea aquarium on your way to Staniel, and let everyone go for a swim with more fish than they are going to see anywhere in Exumas. There are big boat mooring balls just to the south. Tie up, run the dinghy over, and have a quick swim with the fish.
