Grand Cayman Island

 Just before leaving the Kuna Yala Islands we took time to take some "selfie" drone photos


On the way back up to Shelter Bay Marina to clear out of Panama we had some nice brisk sailing
And the videographer got a little wet at the end!

Caught a nice wahoo on the way to Grand Cayman


We then stopped fishing because our freezer is acting up and do not want to waste any
( Have a new one waiting on us in Florida)
And there was so much sea weed in the water the hooks would be covered in 5 minutes or less
Even my Watts&Sea hydrogenerator wouldn't work most of the time
as it was getting clogged up by weed.  Never had that happen before


After 4 1/2 days made it to Grand Cayman
Cleared in OK but had to take a special cab to get Covid tested


The next two days we did two dives a day
Noelle is pausing at the edge of the Abyss
We went over the edge to only 120 ft or so but it went to 1000 I think


Our last dive was at a location called Orange Canyon on the maps
Named after these large Orange Sponges.
(sorry, my flash is not strong enough for deep water)


We then headed over to a marina for a couple days.
Since it was calm I started filling the dive tanks on the way
Unfortunately on the second tank the pressure would not go about 2000psi
Looks like one more thing to work on!

Where we had been on a mooring ball was very rolly
Forecast is for higher winds more directly into to mooring area
So marina a good choice I think
 We had 30 mph winds overnight, palm trees still swaying!


Just cleared out
Next stop Cap'n Tony's in Key West!
