It’s a terrible job, but somebody has to do it. My wife Cindy and I along with some friends (one of whom is somewhat of a Kan Jam celebrity) are heading out on a short 5-day cruise to the Bahamas with the main purpose of finalizing the course layout for the 2010 Disc Golf Cruise on Half Moon Cay (Pronounced “key”), which is a private island owned by Holland America/Carnival Cruise Lines. We will meet with the island manager and go over the details on our group needs and make sure that the island is ready for our return come January.
I actually put down a basic design about a year ago and took a few photos, but a lot can change, even in a short time, as we found out with our 3rd Disc Golf Cruise in 2007. The Royal Caribbean staff on Co Co Cay were rock stars for our first two trips in 2006, but when we arrived a year later, a new staff was in place and our notes about our group, along with our specific needs and what equipment that was made available to us went missing. Luckily, we rolled with the punches and pulled it off, but it would’ve been a disaster. This is what we hope to avoid by laying the ground work now. Like I said, somebody has to go down to the white sandy beaches of the Bahamas and do the dirty work, it’s a terrible job, but somebody has to do it…;)

Happily,
