When: September, 2001 Where is it? Caribbean Ocean, Cayman Islands Buddies: Kathy Hornbach and the various Groupworthy Operator: Aggressor Fleet, Cayman Aggressor Season/WX: Semi-tropical, highs 80s, lows high 70s, humid. Water: Consistently 84 degrees Memorable: The diving is just fabulous, hard to recount in retrospect what was memorable — outside the group. Charlie Stewart buddied with a gym-and-housewatching-friend of his; quiet and reserved at first he came out eventually and seemed to enjoy himself. Notes:
After a half dozen wonderful SCUBA trips, with 2 dozen wonderful SCUBA buddies, it gets a little hard to differentiate one from another. Talk about the weather? It was great. The diving, um, great. The Crew? Great. This was my first liveaboard not on a Peter Hughes boat (It was the Cayman Aggressor). There are things I liked better, and things I liked less. All in all, I guess no strong preference.
The Caymans are a little developed for my (Scott's) taste. Prices on shore were high, food (not surprisingly) had a British-ness too it. And then there were the football (Soccer) fans in our luncheon restaurant. Off shore, on the boat, "no worries, Mate".
See you next time (Bahamas, September 2002)!
