March 27 Normans Cay

On Friday we head over to Normans Cay, a remote island that was once owned by noted drug smuggler Carlos Leder and used as a hidey-hole and trafficking spot. Today it remains a private island with a very small resort, restaurant and air strip.

A new feature created by the Captain to show our whereabouts and the anchorage here.

For a late lunch we head over to MacDuff's, which like many restaurants down this way, claim the "best burger" in the Caribbean. My verdict?

No one beats Craig Yakel on a grill. No one.

Even so, the walk up art work is fun.







As is the outdoor facility.

It is a bit disconcerting to hear "things" skittering about whilst one is indisposed....

Airport welcome sign, and how about those air plane choks??!!

We travel down the road and begin to notice the deserted and bomb-out remnants of the island's former occupants.....could this have been the home of Carlos or his workers????

This is the view from inside the white house. What a fixer-upper it was, and that view!

Cruisers write with chalk on the walls inside the house.

The signs to the restaurant warn to watch for airplanes. The Captain looks both ways before crossing the street!
