Well, finally, we made land!  We dropped anchor in the Caymans around 11AM on Wednesday the 2nd... but the boat didn't dock at the island, it dropped anchor out in the bay and we had to take a smaller boat to the shore....

<p style="text-align: center;">Welcome to the Cayman Islands</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, the Caymans have lots to offer.  We were in Georgetown, Grand Cayman.  There is lots of shopping.  Mostly jewelry and souvenirs.  Apparently, there is a big market in the Caymans for jewelry.  But today, we were going snorkeling to see the reefs and stingrays...</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">We're here ... and the shopping begins...</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">I didn't have a good time snorkeling... never got it.  Dana did much better than I did.  But it was a new experience and the water was beautiful and we both got to touch a stingray.  All-in-all, a pretty good excursion, however, if we had to choose again, we would have picked something different.</p>
