When I told Kari I want a Stingray, I didn't mean this

Good Friday was good.  The clan enjoyed breakfast at our new hangout Coconut Joes.  After devouring breakfast and avoiding traffic we headed out on the high seas.

Our first stop was Stingray City.  This is a sand bar 15 minutes from the island.  3-5 feet of water and 20+ South Atlantic Stingrays.  We had some anxiety and some tears, but eventually everyone got in the water.  Everyone held a Stingray and almost everyone got a kiss.  Grace did not like the waves but in the end she like the Stingrays.  Captain Shaun dropped a ton of local knowledge on us. Stingray city brings in 30 million dollars a year to Cayman.  It started because the fisherman didn't want to deal with Mosquitos while cleaning their fish, so they cleaned them on the sandbar and the remants attracted and eventually tamed the stingrays.

A 5 minute boat ride dropped us over a great snorkel spot.  Captain Shaun let the girls feed the fish some calamari.  He did a great job pointing out the different fish and tried to draw a huge Morrey Eel out from its hiding spot.  I am not sure the pictures will do it justice.

Our last stop was Starfish beach.  Grace was crowned queen of Starfish beach and Abby was the Princess.  Everyone had As Captain Shaun shares the history of the north point of the island. Back at the hotel by 2, happy, tired and sunned burned.

We finished with a walk on the beach, the capture of a ghost crab and a little pirating.
