No visit to Normans Cay is complete without 1) visiting the colorful Welcome sign; and 2) diving or snorkeling the wrecked drug plane. So begins our special day.
Todd and Terry headed in first. Then the ladies joined in the fun.
(who has a history with this site, but that’s a story for another day)
Luckily, this year we carefully selected a time of day that the current was manageable.
Taking a brief pause here for a personalized shout out from Susie to “King Dave” & Peggy:
Look! I did it!
With Todd’s encouragement, I got back on that horse!
Countless fish, and we took some good pictures so that we can compare in years to come. All in all, a dive to remember.
A good time was had by all, especially the fish, who seemed to sense this was no ordinary day and followed Terry around for “fish food,” i.e., oatmeal.
Sometimes successfully hauling yourself back up into the dinghy is cause for celebration.
Nice job, Terry!
After snorkeling the plane, we found a tiny little island nearby to take a walk and dry off a bit.
We were surprised to find three very nice memorial stones/plaques, someone’s memories of loved ones left in a lovely spot.
(It’s a thankless job being the official group photographer.)
Special shot on a special day! 🙂
All tuckered out, we headed back to the boat.
While Todd was in the shower and Susie was hanging up our rinsed gear, Terry hailed from Finish Grade.
Susie looked up, and….. WHAT?? No Way!
Yes, way. Terry leapt from the top of their boat!!
While Terry was floating triumphantly and Lynn was taking 911 off standby, Susie considered hollering across that she hadn’t gotten the shot just to see if he’d do it again. Haha.
After the excitement, we finished cleaning up and headed over to Finish Grade to join them and Barry & Robin from Crossroads for a lovely surf & turf dinner, complete with homemade carrot cake. (Thanks, Lynn!)
We were all so busy relaxing and enjoying the evening – bet you can guess what video we watched for entertainment (backwards, even) – that we didn’t take any more photos, but we took plenty of memories. And I’m sure Terry will never forget “diving” into another decade. Happy Birthday, Dude!
Our Travels 
It was a fabulous “special” day for Terry and we enjoyed every minute with awesome friends!
