NMC is the airport code for Norman's Cay, a small and beautiful private island in the Exumas, a chain of cays in the central Bahamas famous for their clear turquoise water. Today Norman's Cay is a quiet, upmarket island of white-sand beaches and sheltered anchorages, but it is best known for a colourful and notorious past: in the late 1970s and early 1980s it was used as a base by drug smugglers, before being reclaimed. The most famous reminder of those days is the wreck of a small aircraft that lies half-submerged in the shallow, crystal-clear water just off the island, now a popular and easy snorkelling spot, home to fish and coral. Norman's Cay is reached by small aircraft into its airstrip and by boat through the Exumas. The climate is warm and tropical, cooled by the trade winds, with a wetter, hotter season in the late summer and autumn.
