Pigeon Cay
We traveled by single, engine outboard motor boats to the small islands of Pigeon Cay. Pigeon Cay is located just off the coast of Roatan surrounded by coral reefs and sea grass. While on the island, we ate a delicious lunch that consisted of a potato salad concoction and drank sugarcane-based sodas. After a belly full of goodness, we snorkeled the reefs that were 20 to 30 yards off the shore, which were full of coral mounds and beautiful fish. I’ve never seen so many colorful fish outside of a waiting room fish tank until Pigeon Cay; colors that consisted of purple, yellow, deep blues, white and black striped, and many other colors under the sun. It felt like a surreal world under the water line with tranquility beyond words.
The island itself was about the size of a football field with lush vegetation and a few palm trees. A few of us walked the island to get a lay of the land. One of the few palm trees had a ripe coconut hanging at the top, so I scaled the tree and knocked it down. We cut the coconut open and shared the clear, sweet juice.
What I experienced at Pigeon Cay is beyond words. I just hope in this life or in the next that I may again be able to visit that small patch of land with the gorgeous reefs that surround it.
