| Half Moon Cay - Bahamas |
 |
 |
| Half Moon Cay is the name given to this Bahamian island by Holland America Lines who allegedly own the entire island. On my hand-held GPS (Garmin GPS-map 60c) the ship's mooring position was N 24° 34.49, W 075° 57.76 and the island is shown as "Little San Salvador". |

| Many activities were possible during this all-day stop at a typical idylic Bahamian out-island. We signed up for a snorkeling-by-boat trip, but it was too rough. So we decided to take advantage of the wind and rent Hobie Cats. It's been about 30 years since I sailed one - it was a blast! Hard to beat: air temp 80°, water temp 78°, wind 20 kts! |
