Nassau to Norman Cay

We sailed for most of the day yesterday and arrived at Norman's Cay about 7:30 last night. Norman's Cay is about 50 miles South East off the coast of Nassau and was once run by Pablo Escobar, a huge drug lord back in the 70's. They used this island as a distribution center and would fly cocaine from here right into the States. The runway they used is still operable today. Today the island is very primitive, home to a few private families, however plans are in the works to turn the island into a private resort.

We had another great meal last night. Grilled pork chops with a mint sauce, potatoes, broccoli, and salad. I think we've drank about 12 bottles of wine in the past two days, not to mention a lot of rum.

The sky was beautiful last night, untainted by the light of the city, it felt as if you were on the moon and could reach up and touch a one of the million stars above. Lying out on the trampoline looking up at the sky, I felt so small in comparison yet at the same time a part of something much bigger.

Today we are going to do some deep sea fishing. Hoping to catch a huge tuna fish to cook up for dinner, you cant' get any fresher than that!! Will keep you posted…..
