Normans Cay
Sunday, January 9, 2011, Day 105. Slow Dancin’ and Escapade’s crews decided to go to Normans Cay instead of Highborne Cay. From the descriptions in the cruising guides, we felt that there was more to do (restaurants, groceries) in Normans Cay. I…

This stopover is becoming somewhat of a tradition as this will be our 5th or 6th stopover.
