Cayman Brac

Here we are watching sunset over Little Caymanfrom the patio at the house. The island of Little Cayman is only 5 miles away and it was relatively untouched by the hurricane. Congrats to the owner of the place for not living here fulltime and still being able to get it pretty well fixed up (new roof because the old one blew off in the hurricane in November - Hurricane Paloma was a category 4 plus hurricane that devastated the island. The last time a hurricane did this much damage was in 1932. This time there were no deaths.)
We are enjoying breakfast on the patio. It is pretty hot but the tradewinds are blowing so it is staying comfortable.

Here is one of the homes that was pretty heavily damaged.

James, the iguanas are alive and well after the hurricane. This one was about 4 feet long.

We went snorkeling because we couldn't find a dive shop that was open yet. There were about 5 dive shops on the island before the hurricane, but now there is only one that we could find that even had air for diving.
