Thanks go to yoyo for his googling, unfortunately he didn't find it until after we'd all shortened our fins.

Well that's quite a nice name for a chunk of unprepossessing limestone. Certainly the mental image of some Caribbean type cay and the reality don't fit. Yoyo, who named it and what was he taking at the time?

Looks like your original drawing was a fairly accurate representation.
It also looks like there are some more limestone chunks further out.
Some well placed markers in the water are required to prevent misadventure.

It's a good idea Anita, but logistically hard, that's over 3km from our launch spot, a long way to take stuff on a sailboard, even further to walk through the thick weed.
A shallow draft boat is what's needed, jet ski maybe? Or perhaps a kayak?

Any chance we could change the name from Narimba Cay to Caramba Cay? As in the Spanish "Ay Caramba!'
"¡Ay, caramba! (pronounced: ['ai ka'?amba]), from the Spanish interjections ay (denoting surprise or pain) and caramba (a minced oath, a euphemism for carajo)"
I think that fits what I thought when I hit it and alliteration always works.

Right........and more relevantly....

.......Recently revealed random rough rocks really rather (w)recked racing round ragged reefs.

That's 12...over to you.

Stout Sergeant Schultz sampled several sizable sumptuous sticky spanish sausage slabs still strenuously sucking substantial steins.
Too easy Schultzy boy But I have to admit I thought that was going to go off the rails when I had sucking and sausage all in the same sentence

Always avoid alliteration as an adequate answer.

Can we add a division in GPSTC for the number of successful of thread hijacks? Not that I would ever do that, but it would be nice to get a jelly bean for something.

Bloody Hell Stropp there almost as many "F"s there as you get bottom turns at Avalon on a good day

I concede temporary defeat....altho' whilst feeling depressed in the outhouse I found an old engraving on the wall, as follows :

Staff Sergeant Schultz says , seemingly sexily, selling sixty seven sea shells surreptitiously should seem serendipitous. So, shamefully sinful sensual slippery sex sells several seasonal scents simultaneously. Sailing sidesaddle-slalom shows several septic sores slowly seeping.

Will this do?
Temporarily of course.
