The day is bright and noticeably warmer now that we've reached Grand Cayman. Getting to the island involves catching a tendering boat. We must get up much too early in order to be at our destination by 8:30. This is not a pretty sight.
We're part of Dr. Evil's excursion to Stingray City -- "Dr. Evil" and his wife are experienced cruisers who recommended booking our own boat for the excursion because it's cheaper and les regimented than booking through the cruise line.
It's a lovely boat ride out to the sand bar populated by numerous stingrays. The water is a brilliant turquoise at the sandbar, but quickly turns purple when the shelf ends.
It's fun to wade in the salt water and touch the stingrays (they're rather soft and squishy). It's a bit windy and wavy, so I don't attempt snorkeling in the nearby reef, but it's fun to watch.
