Norman's Cay

Welcome to Norman's Cay. We arrived at Norman's Cay Easter Sunday, after traveling outside on a gorgeous day. We dropped the hook in a huge anchorage with Gypsies, Tide Hiker, Rickshaw, and Life's2Short. Norman's is one of the largest Cays in the Exumas and was controlled by Carlos Lehder, a famous drug runner from the 70's to the 80's. One of his planes, a DC 3, is still visible as you enter from the outside. It crashed and is still lying on the bottom. As soon as we arrived we put Half Note in the water and went to the beach with the girls. After wearing them out, Stephanie and I went exploring. While traveling through the shallows we encountered a shark, about six+ foot long, swimming alongside us. I think I heard the Jaws music playing!
While we were coming in earlier in the day we noticed a beautiful little Island that we had to go explore. It was a picture postcard place with tons of shelling. Got your shells Marsie. That evening we all gathered on Gypsies in the Palace for sunset and fresh Mahi on the grill, compliments of Colleen, AKA The Fisher Girl. What a great way to end the day.
