Some Little Caymanians live in little houses
I sailed from Cayman Brac to Little Cayman 5 miles away.
It’s even smaller than Cayman Brac, and only a hundred people live here. I
wanted to go to Owen Island, a tiny deserted island in South Hole Sound – it looked
amazing, but was too rough to enter the channel, so I picked up a ball in
Bloody Bay further around the coast.

I’m above a reef shelf about 40 feet, but just behind me
there’s a vertical wall that drops into to the depths, thousands of feet.
Absolutely stunning. It’s a popular dive to go along the wall. Just snorkeling
though is also amazing; I made friends with another sea turtle. And saw a big
barracuda.

Meanwhile tropical storm Danny, formed off the coast of
Africa, is in the Atlantic, has turned into a hurricane and is headed this way.
It might fizzle out, veer to the north, land on Dominica, miss the Caymans… My
hurricane plan is to head to Grand Cayman and Governor’s Creek, North Sound. At
the moment that’s an overnight sail, after checking out with Cayman Brac
immigration, so not much of a plan really.
