We landed at the Atlantis and soon confirmed what we already

thought…that we’d be here for a while due to waiting for a

windy/rainy front to pass.  HOWEVER we had a couple days to boat

around before hunkering down, so we planned a trip to Sand Cay.

So cool!  It’s a little deserted island that is known as the most

photographed island ever…it was the back drop shot from Gilligan’s

Island, Hewey Lewis and the News shot a video there, and it was

featured in a Coppertone commercial.

Wanting the entire Gilligan’s island experience we packed up one raft

with drinks, Wiley (of course in his bright orange life vest) and

snorkel gear.  Greg tied the Wiley raft to the second raft and we

paddled over to the island as excited as two little kids the night

before Christmas!  We found a broken down shack that looked like it

could’ve been one of those swim up island bars…like the Soggy Dollar

in the Virgin Islands on Jost Van Dyke.  It was amazing that we were

the only boat/people around as far as the eye could see.  Lets just

say that we took full advantage of that little fact!

 

As the warm sun began to set we swam back to the boat.  We had worked up and fierce appetite, which we cured with grilled filet mignon and asparagus, perhaps what Gilligan would have had.  On second thought, not really sure what Gilligan’s ate but it probably wasn’t filet!
