Day 50--Half Moon Cay, Bahamas--ALMOST

well..I knew it was going to be a bust for our stop in Half Moon Cay this morning..20-25 kt S-E winds and there was no chance that the ship could do a tender operation onto the island.. after numerous tries the Captain announced the bad news that we were going to bypass this pretty island.. it's happened before but never on any of our 4 previous TransAtlantic crossings..we were to be in HMC with the Westerdam -- it being a lot larger was able to tender.. a big disappointment for us not being able to land on HMC--a favorite island of ours..a slow ride back to Ft Lauderdale on this 80* sunny day at sea..  tomorrow we leave for the long drive back home
