Wrecked twin engine C-46 aircraft at Norman's Cay, crashed landed in
the water by drug smugglers in 1980.

Is the small resort on Norman's up and running again?

There is McDuff's Restaurant/Norman's Cay Beach Club on the west side
near the middle of the air strip:

We ate at McDuff's twice, once going south and again coming back.
The food is good and they have a few rental beach cottages.

We anchored near here, took the dinghy across to the old dock, and
then walked up the road to the air strip:

Norman's Cay was taken over by a big time drug smuggler named Carlos
Lehder sometime back in the 70s. He is alledged to have founded the
Colombian Medellin Cartel. They were running a trans-shipment
operation at Norman's and some of the planes didn't make it all the
way. :-)

You can see the outline of the plane wreckage on Google Earth if you
zoom way in at Lat 24-35.667 by Lon 76-48.600

Very nice, Wayne. Thanks!
