We arrived at Half Moon Cay, a small island owned by Holland America (actually the parent company Carnival) in the Bahamas. After my half dozen laps around Deck 10 and a nice breakfast in the Lido, we boarded a tender boat for the short trip to shore; there is no dock here.
This island is noted for its beautiful, white sandy beach, stretching for a long way around the "Half Moon". I was dissappointed, however, to find that the water is pretty cool! I swam a bit just to say "I swam in the Caribbean", but it was not pleasant! It was a beautiful place, though. The sand was fine and the colors in the water were spectacular.
We enjoyed a fine buffet lunch in the shade. The crew had dragged everything from the ship to set up shop! A lot of work!
The sun was very strong so we returned to our ship in mid afternoon. Then dinner in the Main Dining Room.
This is our fourth Holland Cruise. We were on this very ship last spring for the Panama Canal trip. So its all very familiar, which is good!
Tomorrow is a "Sea Day".
