William had told me about the Bahamas many times. In particular a place called Elbow Cay (a “cay” is a small island like a sand bank near a coral reef). I finally found an opportunity to spend a week there in the summer of 2018. Unfortunately Hurricane Dorian, with winds at 200mph, the worst ever to hit the island, devastated the community just a year later, in September 2019.
I loved this Caribbean feeling, the turquoise ocean, the white sand beach, the palm trees, the wooden houses, the boat trips for snorkeling and the welcoming people.
