Hi everyone,
The weather has been stellar in the Cayman Islands over the
last few weeks! Very little rain and lots of sun. It has been getting
very hot however; I expect my next utility bill to be substantially higher than
last month’s! For the last week, we had a guest over, so with the
great weather, we headed off to the turtle farm & all of the available
activities there. Here is a lovely brown shark in the “Predator reef”
and a very large green sea turtle in one of the numerous tanks.
We also went for a snorkel & stingray city tour. As
you can see the stingrays were plentiful and very playful! The color of
the ocean was to die for! Needless to say our guest was quite sad to fly
back home on Monday morning.
On the hurricane front, we can see some shutters being put
up. I heard some murmurs about hurricane supplies at the office today ; the
season is obviously (and unfortunately) almost upon us. We shall be reviewing
out list this weekend and taking a look at our shutters and other gear to see
if anything needs to be done. Better be safe than sorry, but especially better
to be ready and beat the crowds at the groceries & hardware stores if
a storm is on its way. It reminds me of Canada ; people wait for
the first snow storm to have their winter tires installed. As soon as the
first one looms, everyone rushes to the garage to have them installed, only to
find long waits when it could have easily been done a few weeks earlier. I
guess some things are the same, wherever you live!
