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 idyllic 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!
