Down the Exumas part 2: Norman's Cay

We were able to anchor for an afternoon and overnight in Norman's Cay.  A former haven of a drug cartel, Norman's Cay has one of the best airplane wreckage dives in the Bahamas.  The plane is still mostly in tact, but has become part of the marine life.  The water is shallow enough that the wreck can be seen above and below the water at almost any tide.
The little sergeant major fish are very used to people and not only swim right up to you as you snorkel, they follow you throughout the dive.  Cool...and a little creepy.
Norman's Cay also has a little one-palm-tree island with a bench that is dedicated to a couple that loved to cruise the Exumas.  We left Norman's because of an approaching front, but we would have loved to stay for more than one night.
