Great Stirrup Cay: Cruise Day 4

We didn't have any excursions planned this day since we knew we would be on a private island.  Our ship anchored at sea and we took tenders to get to the island.
Here is a picture of our ship that we took from a tender.
When we first arrived at the island, we chose some seats and got settled in for the day.
We then decided to go for a walk while it was still a little chilly before we headed into the ocean to swim. 
We walked to a light house that was about a mile away from our chairs. On the way we saw Great Stirrup Cay's "airport."  It was really more like a helicopter pad that had overgrown with weeds.
We found the light house, but decided not to go up it since there was a sign that said, "Danger, Keep Out."
We walked just a little farther until the trail ended with us on the other side of the island.
On our way back, we saw people up in the light house.  So some of the guys decided they wanted to risk going up there too. 
We then headed back to the beach area, had lunch, and then went swimming.
Since it was our last dinner on the ship, we told our waitress that it was John's 70th birthday soon.  So they brought him a cake and sang to him.
We got to meet Tyler, our cruise director that night right before the entertainment started.  He was such a good MC and really make the entertainment worthwhile all week long.
We also had to take a picture of the couples whose shirts matched.
And because it was our last night on the ship, I'll put all our towel animal pictures here.
And this was the view of our state room floor.  Sometimes this hallway seemed never ending! :)
