It was a bit more of a challenge getting into Normans Cay as some sandbars extend out for miles from shore and are quite shallow; at least less than 5 feet we draft. We were hoping to go out for dinner as there was supposed to be a restaurant on the south end. We went there in the afternoon and found it under renovations. We had a chat with the contractor and he told us some stories about the island. It used to be owned by a drug lord; Johnny Depp played him in BLOW the movie. Apparently as the story goes this drug lord bought 45 large plastic barrels in Miami just before he was busted and the Feds recovered only 30 of them. Each barrel holds millions in cash. His prison sentence is up in Feb of this year and he wants to come back as he legally owns his house here. His wife was to the island just recently to check out the place.
