day 3
Another cracking sail across to Grand Cayman, where we picked up a mooring buoy off Georgetown in the early hours of this morning. Having woken early as instructed by the port security, we were able to clear in with ease as we temporarily came alongside the quay. Everything has been insanely efficient and well organized, much to the delight of Captain Chris. Having returned FALKEN to a comfortable mooring (free of charge), we inflated the dinghy and ran the crew ashore for their mini adventure ahead of our Cuban destination. The economic difference between here and Jamaica is stark and quite an eye opener. Our rapid speed gives us two full days to explore before we move on to Havana. – Emily

Dolphin party!
Kate was about to yank the spinnaker’s sock down when I spotted a stampede of fins heading straight for us. ”Dolphins!”, I yelled back to the cockpit excitedly. Post dinner dish duty was halted down below for the show.
The pool is open!
We stopped the boat, got the ladder down and put out a line with a fender behind the boat. I love swimming in the middle of the ocean, and a bit scary when you realize its more than 4000+ m deep! Love it!
Big Pink Sail Day
I had a most fashionable pointed striped hat at dinner, and out of the depths of a cupboard a cake was created, after 14 days at sea. A group of people I had never met two weeks ago made me feel very special today.
