The water was stirred up so we only found two starfish but they are always amazing to see!

Sunday ended with a few more waves that brought in some kelp but we had a fairly decent sunset and a competitive game of dominos!

Hey Mike,
You over did yourself on pictures, thanks!
Yow, $445 for dinner at the Wharf. Look on the bright side, that was USD not CID!
We leave soon for two weeks on Bonaire. Not the same as GCM but still warm and sunny. Your pictures will get me through until our trip.
Thanks for taking the time to post. I know it takes a bit of effort.
Cheers,
DS

Took a little trip to hell before Coconut Joe’s. We actually went to the Calypso Grill for lunch but they are closed on Mondays.

Day 7
The day we wait for on every trip to GCM – a sunset sail with Sail Cayman! We had Orneil – the famous Pirate Week pirate – as our skipper and were joined by our friends Sue and Dean Barsness along with Eugenio minus the harp!
We started the day with a walk down West Bay Road. This could be one of the prime private houses on GCM – a Seven Mile Beach location!

Headed to town since it was only a one ship day and bought some souvenirs for our four grandchildren. You can accomplish a lot in a short time on a one ship day!

I guess these shots from the pool tell you I need to find a real hobby!

Debbie and Sue seemed relaxed!

And after listening to our mindless chatter thinking: what did I get myself into with this group???
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h141/eyerish21/GCM%202017/DSCN3633_zpshgpschfi.jpg%5B/img%5D
He was actually watching some knucklehead in a speedboat bearing down on us with no intention of slowing down or passing behind us! The lunatic sped by and was within 25 yards of the bow. He never saw us! I hope Orneil turned the clown in to the authorities!

If you get the opportunity while you are down there, call Neil Galway at Sail Cayman and book a sunset sail – you won’t regret it! It’s your boat for the two hours with no outsiders.

We ended the night with some great food and libations at Dukes! I like that White Tip Lager by the Cayman Brewery! :cheers:

Day 8
It was another do nothing taxing day with a little snorkeling at the Governor’s place!
