Uploaded by: JeffMasters — Friday January 4, 2013 — Rum Point, Cayman Islands

Spent a week on Grand Cayman, where the waters have that spectacular Caribbean blue. This shot is of the waters near Rum Point, where I did the touristy thing and petted tame sting rays at Stingray City. The snorkling and windsurfing were awesome all week. We stayed on the east end at Morritt's, and it was ideal for diving and windsurfing adventures.

Yes, the waters of the Caribbean are so incredible. I was on Saint Maartin a couple of years ago, and Truly did not want to come back. One wave in particular "Greeted Me" very enthusiastically, filling my pockets with small sea shells and sand.
'Princess Juliana International, Saint Maartin ' is still saved as one of my "Favorites". Just so I can still enjoy the Weather, from afar. And checking out the webcams are great, especially during storms as well.
