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.

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
