Today is our last full day at our house on Little Cayman Island. Tomorrow at 4:10 pm we get on the plane for Grand Cayman. We will spend Saturday night there. The weather couldn't have been more perfect today and the water was calm and beautiful. It is sure going to be hard to leave. We'll be back before we know it though.

We accomplished a lot of detail things today and did a lot of just enjoying our property. This afternoon we rented a car and visited some of our new friends at their houses. It was fun. While just standing awhile on the beach close to the water a nurse shark swam up to us about 1 and 1/2 feet from us. Then a nice barracuda and even a little grouper. The water is so clear. I should add, we did the friend visits after we saw the fish on our beach.

Tonight I made leftover chicken with Sauteed celery, carrots, onions & garlic over it and rice & black beans. We are trying to use up all our food. It will be interesting closing up the house. We will put the kayaks in the house. The bikes are hanging in the storage room downstairs. Our mattresses will arrive Sat. right after we leave. The builder who is putting on our porch and new roof is going to pick them up at the barge and put them in the house for us. Yes, we are also putting on a new roof. We just decided not to wait as it will work best with the roof over the porch. Our house will be busy while we are gone.

I sure have a lot of memories to take home with me.

  2. My old boss, Trip Hedrick, used to be the Iowa State Mens Swimming coach. One year, his seniors got him a gift of that was a scuba diving trip for him in the Bahamas. On his last dive a barracuda attacked his left arm, he has scars to show from it, very gnarly. The guides suggested that the reflection from his watch prompted the attack.
