... a dock side birth, so we needed to take a tender boat to shore. The ocean water in the port and around the Cayman Islands was this incredible turquoise blue. The weather was warm, sunny and cloudy but it looked like thunder showers could happen at anytime ...

... . It is a place on the Island called HELL. It was a choice between Rum Point and Hell and as the weather wasn't too sunny I thought Hell would be better as Rum Point is more of a beach paradise Island place. I then had a few hours on the beach to top up ...
