a beautiful arrival before sunrise at our anchorage just off the beach
at Holland America's private island in the Bahamas--Half Moon Cay... a
pretty sunrise over the island that was a welcomed site after sailing
for 7 days at sea.. I was off by myself on the first tender to walk the island as
I usually do having been here 40x before.. camera in hand I made off
on the trek to the west end a near 2 mile walk along the beach.. no
one around.. it was great as I snapped away.. having reached the far
west end I turned back and began my walk to meet up with Pat and friends who all came over on later tenders around 9am.. grabbed a spot and some beach
chairs and relaxed .. a nice long dip in the warm blue ocean water in a
paradise setting..'it don't get no more better-er than that'.. what a
day... some time out for the island's BBQ lunch hosted by the ship's staff..
then back on to the beach and some more 'in the water'.. a nice quiet
relaxing peaceful day with no crowds.. just a wow kinda day .. the
cruise ends tomorrow morning as we set sail at 4pm for Ft Lauderdale
about 270 miles away
As always.. click on the pics to make them larger
