Cruise Update

We had a very nice day in Grand Cayman yesterday. Mary and I took an
excursion to a turtle farm and got to hold small (8 month old) and
larger (18 month old) turtles. Those little guys were strong! If
they got some leverage on your hand with their flipper, you really had
to hold on tights. One started squawking and the guide showed me how
to rub it's neck just like you would a kitten to calm it down. Very
neat.
We shopped in town afterwards, then caught a tender back to the ship.
For all the cruise ships that visit, they have no docks so all ships
have to tender their passengers to shore and back. There were 4 ships
when we were there and our guide said he's seen as many as 16 ship
there on a single day. The town was crowded enough with just our
ships so I cannot imagine how it would be with 10 or more!
We arrived at Cozumel this morning. We are at a new dock since the
hurricane destroyed all they docks in 2004 (8 months before our April
2005 cruise). The port facilities were nice as well. Mary, Katie, Andy
and I went ashore this morning for a shopping excursion. Bill and I
are doing an ATV adventure in an hour or so.
So that's the latest update. Tomorrow is another day at sea. The big
highlight will be seeing the Mamma Mia! movie on the big Movies Under
the Stars screen at 7:30 p.m. - and quite likely again at 10:30.
