Castaway Cay Location On A Map

[shirley 38]

Need help on locating Castaway Cay on a map.

I got my DH a great map (he loves it) that shows the Bahamas, the Carribean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico the Atlantic Ocean and all of the Major Islands

He believes that Castaway Cay would be just North of Miami.

If you look at the islands of the Grand Bahamas** and Great Abaco ) , they roughly form this **) Excuse my computer artistry.

He thinks that Castaway is at bottom of the ), at the south western tip of Great Abaco. Are we on the right track ??????

He has located the Puerto Rico Trench at 27,400 ft. deep. We sailed over the trench on the Magic. He even bought special pens to hi-lite points of interest on the glass, covering of the map.

Thanks, Shirley & John

My "boys" have their map as well. It is called Gorda Cay on the maps.

Found it. You guys & gals are great.

This will make my husband's day.

Now he can get his special pens out and mark it on the glass covering his map.

Thanks again, Shirley

PS: It actually lined up with my computer art. Right off the bottom tip of this **)
Would you believe that.
