Friday - 30 January 2015 - Half Moon Cay - Bahamas


We both slept well -- I have reacquainted myself with Deck Six -- four times around equals one mile.  I am committed to walking two miles every day -- it was very windy but pleasant this morning.  I also went to the stretch class at 7:00 am but my back was not cooperating -- so walking will have to do the trick.

The Statendam arrives at Half Moon Cay,  an island owned by Holland America.  Our stop here is for passengers who want to enjoy the beach, water sports and/or nature.   Phil and I do not fall into any of these categories but we get off the ship and tender in -- weather is hot but not humid.  We walk around to check out what is available -- several bars, booths selling hats, scarves, beach bags, hair-braiding -- the usual carribean fare.    Phil spots a wide-brimmed hat he thinks I should have so we buy it.

In our wanderings we come across a spot where folks can mingle with the sting rays.   Watching this exercise is fun --- more so than participating as far as I'm concerned.

It is getting warmer so we stop at a bar close to where the barbecue lunch is about to be served securing our place to eat.  The barbecue buffet is okay -- chicken, beef, hot dogs, fruit, cole slaw, corn on the cob -- all very tasty.

After lunch -- we head back to the Statendam --- and spend the afternoon reading.  I am half way through Cottage For Sale, Must Be Moved  by Kate Whouley.  Anyone who loves Cape Cod would probably enjoy this.

Our dining reservation notice is in our stateroom -- 8:00 pm - Table 81.   When we arrive Table 81 is a table for four -- but nobody joins us.   We have a very nice meal and a good day.

Thanks for Reading.
