Hi all. This is a position update. If the position does not come up with a picture its because the host site hasnt changed his web site to redirect you. take out the www when viewing this blog. ie http//blog.mailasail.com/seren

Grand cayman is expensive and very american. In cuba we had whole bays and coast lines to ourselves, rarely even seeing fisherman . Here we get a fresh load of 4-5 cruise ships anchored a hundred and fifty yards behind us. its a bit unnerving. They dump minimum 2500 people ashore per boat(up to 3500) to raid the shops for bargains. They then herd them back on board to fleece them some more and they leave at sunset. Next lot will be here at sunrise.
We will do a big entry later today.
asta la vista
