Grand Cayman

After setting sail from Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday afternoon, we spent a day at sea on the way to our first port. We arrived in Georgetown, Grand Cayman Island first thing Monday morning. After a brief walk around the town, we headed on Capt. Bryan's Stingray Adventure. We boarded a catamaran and set sail for Stingray Island, which is a sandbar near the barrier reef. There are hundreds of stingrays swimming around this sandbar, and they are docile enough to be fed, touched, and even kissed :)! After a stop at Stingray Island, we went to two other snorkel spots close by. It was windy and the water was rough, but the coral and animals were beautiful. After a long morning in the water, we raised the sails and headed back for Grand Cayman and a wonderful lunch at Breezes restaurant with a waterfront view.

One of the best parts of the day was meeting some new friends. We spent a lot of time with a fun family who had visited Stingray Island before. They were able to help us get and up close and personal experience with the rays!
