I got invited by a friend for a day out on a boat. The ocean was calm and very few clouds, so all was in place for a fabulous day out in the North Sound. The North Sound being the big “U” shaped bay that “eats” up 1/3 of Grand Cayman.
Off we go! You may have guessed, my friend is from the USA!
First stop: Stingray City. Here I got as chance to play with my new GoPro underwater camera. I should have got one of these a long time ago ; they take amazing underwater pictures and videos.
Lots of stingrays around. We were lucky; there was only one other boat where we were there.
Next stop, Starfish point to see the starfish. There were so many of them; we must have see 100 of them. Nice to see that the population is doing well, even though many tourists come to see them.
One of the final stops was the barrier reef – as always, plenty of fish and colors. Always spectacular.
When coming back to the boat decided to do an “artsy” picture of the boat propeller! 🙂
About 5h on the boat and having fun! Good thing I brought a full bottle of sunscreen lotion ; I really needed it.
The ocean was so calm, that I was told it is only like that 2-3x per year. I guess we got lucky. What an awesome day it was.
