arrived at 8am on this one of a kind fantastically beautiful private
island...we've been here over 35 times before but it never gets old... a
beautiful pretty 82* day with sunny skies..two Holland America ships in port today..our ship, the Maasdam and the Noordam...
looked up an old friend,
Captain Jolly who I've charter fished with on many occasions before...
HAL suddenly stopped all fishing here and the good Captain was doing
guided tours of the island... after eating at the BBQ we walked back to our spot
on the beach..
as I was walking along I looked up and saw some
old friends Peter and Margaret Oakley from Devon, England who we've sailed with many times before and were also in port on the Noordam
returning from a 20 day Caribbean cruise... what a surprise.. you just
never know who you'll meet and run into on this island... after talking
some good times with them we all went back in the water for a last dip
before returning to the ship... the sailaway was magnificent as we made
our way back to Ft Lauderdale and disembarkation--the end of a great
cruise once again aboard the Maasdam
