After COVID delayed our return, we were glad to come back! Not too many vacation locations where you can hop off the plane and be in your hammock looking at the ocean within a few minutes. The BRAC seems to have landed on its feet. In fact we were surprised at the many new pickup trucks, and property for sale, road development up on the bluffs! So get here sooner than later! Still not a traffic light on the island.
Tom was able to complete his scuba certification with the professionals at local scuba shop recommended by Henry. Hired a local captain (also recommended by Henry) for a snorkeling and fishing afternoon over to Little Cayman. The fish we caught fed us for many meals along with rice and beans (we brought lots of staples) from home and sides from the authentic carribean restaurants around the island. Next time we will try to take the short and reasonably priced flight over to Little Cayman to explore before this gem gets discovered too. Trips to the local bakery for sandwich bread and cinnamon rolls were a treat. Friendly expats and divers from all around the world were happy to share adventures. Diving boats could be seen each day moored right within sight from the hammocks/screened porch at Henry’s. If water is calm, put on your dive boots (a MUST) and snorkel on out to see beautiful sea life. Beaches are rocky, very few sandy beaches. Really a scuba and snorkeling destination. Saw our one token iguana on road, cuban parrots, bats, turtles, rays jumping out of the water, lobsters, octopus, flounder, grouper, puffer fish, jacks, grunts, barracuda, tarpons, reef sharks and so many colorful fish. Thanks again Sasha for taking good care of us, and nice to meet you this time Henry!
