We left
Cozumel
at midnight on May 11th 1999. We were to sail the rest of that night and all day Wednesday
the 12th and arrive in Grand Cayman on Thursday the 13th. When we woke on Wednesday, I
looked out expecting to see blue water. Well I saw blue water and land. I thought we had
missed something and I was a little upset thinking that we missed our 7am excursion in
Grand Cayman. It turned out that a man developed appendicitis during the nite and the ship
turned around and went back to Cozumel
to get him medical attention. As far as I know, the man is ok and we did not miss any of
the trip. I do know the captain of the ship had the pedal to the metal and we were leaving
a distict wake in the water. We did arrive in Grand Cayman on Thursday at around 7am, and
it was beautiful.
There are not any docks where we were in Grand Cayman, so we dropped anchor and some boats
called tenders came out to get us. They would make runs from the ship to the small piers
about every 10 or 15 minutes. It was in the Grand Cayman the we visited the Hell Post
Office, we went and swam with and fed the stingrays, that was way cool, and we took a
submarine 100 feet deep. Grand Cayman was an exciting place but I felt it was a little
pricey. |
