Well, here we are in the Cayman Islands - and what a beautiful place! We have been thoroughly spoiled by Nick and Janet and are very lucky to be staying with people so generous and also with some cool friends and a wicked boat! Lots of 'boating mayhem' as promised yesterday and another day to come today. All I can say is it's just as well there are no drink driving limits on boats!
We did a spot of (unfortunately unsuccessful) fishing, drank champagne amongst stingrays and watched Nick's friend James while he showed us how wakeboarding is done. It's our turn today, although I don't think our attempts will be anything like that!
There are some seriously cool bars here too, made even better by the fact that you can arrive by boat, cars are definitely over-rated on this Island, boats are the way forward!!
Food is pretty damn good too, I think the couple of pounds I'd lost before are going to be replaced and added to very quickly!!!

Wicked day yesterday, "boating mayhem" aplenty! As Katie said, today will see us try and fail to wakeboard, and then be slung around the Caribbean on the "idiot ring"! Hopefully my attempts to wakeboard will be better than my attempts to waterski a couple of years ago. That afternoon involved being dragged around, clinging for dear life to a fixed pole, swallowing vast quantities of muddy lake water! At least the setting here is infinitely more acceptable! Apparently getting upright on something like your 15th attempt is a par effort, so I don't hold out much hope for standing up, but will give it a bash anyway!
Been eating (and drinking) like kings too - a couple of quality fried breakfasts from Nick, some top drawer restaurant food too! Not sure I will need a life vest today, after all the good food I have a good layer of fat to keep me buoyant!
Will update you on our efforts later!!
