Allan's Cay became instantly crowded with 22 new boats on Wed. We left for Norman's Cay on Thursday in a moderate NE breeze. We were actually able to sail the entire 20 n. mi. We chose an anchorage in the SW corner of Norman's and found a tranquil spot in 9 feet of water in good sand. Friday we walked all around the southern end of the island with magnificent scenery. We explored the ruins of a development and checked out the airstrip. Norman's was the scene of Carlos Leahder's cocaine smuggling for the Medellin cartel in the 1970's. As much as 80% of America's cocaine supply passed thru that little airstrip at one time. We had lunch at MacDuff's the only resturant on the island--good, but expensive.
After lunch we had a swim/bath. I used a sponge that we found on the beach--very "au naturale".

Beautiful! Now that you can see the fish and starfish in the water...what better time to learn SCUBA? Gorgeous water and interesting "lizards"! Looks like a iguana rodeo! Be safe.
