Caribbean Cruise (Nov 2008)

Cindy called Kathy on 10/20 and asked her to go on a planned cruise within the next two weeks! Fortunately, Kathy's project in Denver ended on 10/31! The 7 day Western Caribbean Cruise on the Carnival Conquest left out of the Galveston Port (the 2nd ship to do so after Hurricane Ike devestated Galveston Island in September) on Sunday November 2nd. Ports of call included Montego Bay, Jamaica; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico.

Day 5 - Thu 11/6 – Grand Cayman, mostly sunny day
The Cayman Islands, located 180 miles Northwest of Jamaica and 460 miles South of Miami, are comprised of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.  These three little islands have a total land mass of 100 square miles, with Grand Cayman being the largest and most populated.  Grand Cayman and Little Cayman are relatively flat with sweeping beaches and ironshore coastlines. Cayman Brac boasts a towering limestone bluff which rises to a height of 140 feet. The islands are tempered by trade winds, keeping a comfortable temperature in the 80° F range.  Water temperatures are close to 80° F year-round, cooling slightly in the winter months. Surrounding waters are unbelievably clear with visibility of at least 100 feet on most days.

Columbus discovered the island in 1503. In 1670, Cayman was ceded to the British Crown in the Treaty of Madrid with settlement following many years later in the 1730s. They were a dependency of Jamaica until 1959 when it was given status as unit territory with the Federation of the West Indies. All links were severed, the Federation was dissolved, and Jamaica declared independence in 1962. Today Cayman is one of the last (and most loyal) British Crown colonies with no sentiment for independence.
