Feeding Wild Rock Iguanas At Bitter Guana Cay | Sailboat Story 42

Bitter Guana Cay is right around the corner from Staniel Cay, but there’s wild iguanas that live on the island.

This video is short. Simply didn’t take enough video footage. DOH!
However, I’ve got a special surprise at the end that should make up for the brevity of this particular episode.

With that said, Bitter Guana Cay is a secluded and interesting place. It was only a 1-day stop for us, but we certainly enjoyed the experience.

We had to battle our way into the anchorage, with a very strong Easterly blasting us the whole way. Once we arrived, we were nicely sheltered by the tall limestone cliffs lining the edges of the anchorage. The sand was soft and white, and the holding was excellent.

I always wonder how these islands got their names, and this one, is actually pretty obvious once you set foot on the island. These iguanas actually are bitter. It’s not apparent why they have such a bad attitude towards each other, but they do.

They’ll fight, hiss, huff and puff at each other for hours. Luckily, they don’t share the same distaste for visitors, like us, who shower them with treats… or at least try to. They didn’t seem overly enthused about our cantaloupe rinds, but they did like the squishier pieces.

Again, I don’t like that this episode turned out to be so short, but I do feel proud of the way I utilized the limited footage we had. I hope you find it fun & punchy. 🙂

Thanks for watching!!
