So here we are in the South side of Grand Cayman,
moored to a mooring ball. We had to move from our previous mooring in Georgetown
bay because two cold fronts are passing through and the bay is exposed to wind
and swells.
Good snorkelling from this spot around the
boat. Some corals and loads of coloured fish. Water temperature about 24
degrees.
Cruise liners are coming every morning,
disembarking their thousands of passengers and leaving again at 3:30 in the
afternoon. Sometimes we are surrounded by 6 of them. Very impressive but doesn't
make us want to be one of their guest...
Grand Cayman is a small island but probably the
wealthiest of all the Caribbean islands we have seen so far. Supermarkets are
very similar to the ones in Florida. Everything available. Beautiful beaches.
Some good restaurants. We have had good and fun lunches, drinks at the bar and
dinner at the Lobster Pot.
Our friend Frank has arrived from Scotland. He had
a good trip over and I think he is quite happy to be in the heat after the
unusually cold winter in the UK.
Our freezer unit should be here anytime now. The
fridge engineer came this morning to check the setting. Hopefully we will have a
working fridge and freezer soon and can be on our way to Panama.
Robyn and Peter on SEQUELL II are moored next to us
and we still have loads of good times together.
All good here and hope it is the same where you
are!
Love
Catherine and Mike
