Our last and final stop on this amazing trip is Georgetown in Grand Cayman. Georgetown, the capital of Grand Cayman, has a captivating history that spans centuries. It began as a small fishing village and developed into a port town named in honor of King George III. Throughout the centuries, Georgetown has endured economic prosperity, the intrigue of pirate lore, and the resilience of its community in the face of adversity. Today, the city stands as a testament to the spirit of Grand Cayman, blending its rich cultural heritage with modern amenities and welcoming visitors with to explore its historic landmarks, bustling markets, and picturesque waterfront. I have to say I did enjoy walking the streets and not being hassled by vendors.

Less than 70 yards from shore in 30 feet of crystal clear water lies the Wreck of the Cali. The Cali was a four-mast schooner and was 220 feet long It sunk in 1944 after experiencing severe weather conditions. Since it was declared a hazard to navigation, she was blown up shortly after her sinking. The ship’s ribs are now exposed and scattered along the ocean floor along with winches, boilers, hull plates all nicely encrusted with sponges and corals. The wreck is also home to a diversity of other marine life including many species of tropical fish and a resident population of silver Tarpon.

We took a water shuttle from the ship to the shore where we got to see a little bit of the town. We were walked through the main street to a dock where we got on a small boat and got to snorkel both the reef and the shipwreck of the Cali. I got to use my new face mask and I absolutely loved it. It was pretty cool getting to snorkel and breathe out your nose.
After we got back on the ship we got some lunch got a yummy snack and took a dip in the pool and I got some great pictures of the pool and the DJ.
