Day 4, somewhere out on  the high seas.
Not quite somewhere, we have a channel on the television that shows our course minute by minute. I have pictures! It ,also, shows depth of sea, wind direction and speed(beaufort) and other interesting items. Interesting for me, for Deb...not so much.
A seaday means we have shipboard activities or we fend for ourselves. Shipboard activities include but not limited to, eating, drinking, bingo, gambling, pool fun game, ladies pamper party and more. Eating and pool fun cost nothing but time while the others will set you back something. Of course, you can always nap... my activity of choice.
Tuesday, we visited Grand Cayman Island,  Two days onboard ship with the aforementioned activities invites any escape as a good thing. We had arranged a boat ride to a sand bar to swim with sting rays then snorkeling on a coral reef, starfish photo-op and lunch. The boat's master warned us of the dangers of the Carribean sun. Ha! I laugh in your deeply tanned face. Now i have a red face, chest and back where the sun worked its' magic. While I didn't get really burnt, I have sensative skin.
The sting rays are not the same species as the one that did in Steve in Australia. It has a barb on its' tail but docile to the touch and interested in the free meal. Most of the activity of the life of the sea we found at the coral reefs. I say reefs because the reef consists of many dots of life in a sand desert. Grat colors of purple,   yellow, blue and more. Large fish, small fish, some fish with eyes the size of quarters and coral of every description, brain, fan and teh one that looks like antelers.,  I brought my underwater camera along to capture some colorlful scenes only to find i left the charging cable at home. Pack, pack, pack and then you forget something anyhow. The Cayman's only have red and orangish starfish. 5 points make the most common fish but we found a rare--er 6 pointer and one can have the, even, rarer 4 pointer as well. Now you know, too!
Lunch cnsisted of a buffet of salad, jerk fish, red beans and rice, chicken and sun. It got hot, hot, hot. No clouds to mitigate the sun's wonderful warming ways.  This two hour break before we headed back to the ship caused my current tender condition. Sleepy by over-consuming, the warmth of the day and chatting with new found friends in the cooling beach waters means you forget  the ship master's admonishment. Lesson learned until the next outdoor lunch!
Today brings the firs to two seadays before Cartehagne, Colombia. And oru first "elegant Night". stay tuned.
