Beautiful Cayman Waters


I could not retire the subject of our trip to meet Nicholas without tempting friends with the beauty of the Cayman Islands. We have made many trips to visit Jen over the past ten years and one of our favorite spots is Rum Point. The water is very warm, beautifully clear, and the Mud Slides the best on the Island!





The trees on the waters edge are so soft and lacy, just enough shade if you want or full sun if you brought all your lotions. Families are always enjoying the lack of surf so the little
ones can splash for hours. We can't wait until Nicholas is old enough to enjoy this spot.
No dogs allowed!





Do you think Rog looks happy driving the kids beautiful boat!!  Great trip to Rum Point by boat.








Stingray City is a popular tourist attraction however the rays are found everywhere on the Island as we found out as soon as the anchor went down. We had used the kids boat for our final day on the island and only had one place we really wanted to go. Those Mud Slides and calm waters had been calling to us very hard.






The water is very shallow where we dropped anchor so we walked to shore looking out for the rays the entire time. We hope to come back to the Caymans at Christmas to see how much little Nicholas has grown. From the last picture we received from Jen we know he has almost outgrown his newborn outfits it length and in weight. Both very good signs for a little guy who started out so small.





Projects are being finished on the boat, the engine and generator are being serviced this morning, we had the refrig looked at yesterday and made some minor adjustment to increase performance and Tues we get the dingy back with new chaps made. We have found a fabulous US beef market very near El CID Marina so we will provision the boat Tues with plans to head up the Sea on Wed. We will stay on the mainland side for about 200 miles before we head over to The Loretto Fest
