I got a response from a gal who was going to check with the owner of the band, Clive. She said she thought all the CD’s were lost in Ivan and they had not produced a new one. She was going to double check for me….I hope they release another one soon ? You guys will probably get more scoop before I do, so please let me know. I would love to purchase one.

We get this question all the time… I would be VERY surprised if your vacation is a wash out. You may encounter a brief shower from time to time, but you should not get any extended periods of rain. I tell people that if they keep an eye on the Royal Palms web cam, they will see how infrequently it actually rains. ?

I’m arriving This Friday, and all I see on the forecast is rain and thundershowers! Hope someone can reassure me that this won’t last. I’ve been watching the webcam at the Royal Palms for days and its looking pretty dreary.

Also, I’m new to diving and wondering if the cloudy skies will mean less visibilty when diving?

Thanks for the help, Barb

Something to keep in mind though, in regards to visibility, “lower visibility” is VERY relative when diving in the caymans. If you’re used to diving in fresh water lakes and have never dived in the Carribean, the visibility will still (most likely) be much better than you get at home.

I grew up diving in the spring fed lakes of Norther Wisconsin and the first time I dove in Cayman, I was blown away at the visibility even at 75 feet. You can literally see forever and then some.

Weather, of course, is always a concern. Supposing that bad weather does arrive and no diving or beach makes sense; what does one do if they don’t drink alcohol and are not prone to indoor sports?

Don P,

I hope you have a wonderful vacation! I know you will!

I totally agree with mselizann, when she says that the rain rarely lasts very long, nor does it always rain over the entire island. It’s usually quite spotty and brief.

Anyway, just in case you do get a cool, “off” day, or just feel like exploring, one of my favorite places for that kind of thing is St. Pedro’s Castle. You can read about it here – http://www.caymanactivityguide.com/forums/images/ButtonHere.gif” alt=”” title=”” class=”bbcode-image” />

Whatever you do, don’t miss the multimedia presentation that they have. It’s very good!

Or…..you can go shopping :laugh:

I would vote for shopping…… :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Get a piece of the island….Caymanite…….wish I had more. I love it.
