Hi Salsa – http://www.caymanactivityguide.com/forums/images/smiles/welcome.gif” alt=”” title=”” class=”bbcode-image” />

We received over two feet of rain last week, which is almost half of our annual average rainfall. I can assure you that what you experienced was an extremely isolated incident. The waters of the Cayman Islands are among the clearest in the entire Caribbean, owing primarily to the filtering effect of the Mangrove trees and the extreme depths of the surrounding trench.

Thanks for the welcome. That was our third trip and we love the Caymans…..like I said I just had never heard of this brown water problem before at Stingray city. We were told it might take up to 3 weeks to clear up….hopefully not that long! Thankfully we have had the incredible experience with the rays in the past! We did have a great trip despite the rain…..it’s so beautiful there. We also enjoyed the new turtle farm and the dinner buffet at Stinger’s with the fire eater…..my kids thought that was so cool!!!! Does anyone know where we can get the band “Heat” cd???? They were awesome and we had to leave while the band was still playing to go pack.

Very sorry to hear about the murky water when you were there Salsa…….and Joe….THREE WEEKS TO CLEAR UP!!!!!!!! it has

ONE!

:palm:

Salsa – what you experienced is something that only happens during absolutely heavy rains and it happens to be tannin coming from the mangroves which causes the water to have a red cast to it. It is not harmful but certainly not what our normally crystal clear waters produce. Odd that it is caused by the very same system that does serve to help filter our waters. It is already almost completely cleared up.

I hope you give our islands another try when we aren’t having a influx of liquid sunshine!

tgking95 – Yep, that’s you. ? I’ve been checking Funky Tangs and asking around when I see them play but they have not been producing CDs lately. I have not seen the original Heat play together in a while. They appear at a few different venues but usually not all three of them. I think one of the girls left the island and was replaced. I’ll get more details from my friend at Stingers (where they perform ) when I see her on Sunday. ?

Thanks Cindy – I’ll try to stop by on my way to go check out the boat. I know it won’t be all three original singers and it might just be one or two of them, with a backup band.

As usual, I’m running late. I need to go and shoot a video of the new Taffy Factory. :split:

Hi folks,

I’m new here. My family and I are planning to leave for Cayman tomorrow morning and will be there for the week. Everything I’m seeing shows showers every day. Is this an all day long thing or pop-up showers that move out quickly. I”m very anxious. I don’t want to spend the week watching it rain. A current weather report would be great.

Thanks!!!
