I think it is a bigger concern later in the year or in Jan-Feb when the sun is setting early. In mid to late summer, it is not an issue because the sun is setting so late.

That is why I love going in August-September, you never need to ask, just pack the shorts and rash guard.

I posted this a few days ago on one of the other threads, but regardng the new otter, it sounds like maybe they found one, but I haven't seen it officially announced anywhere.

I would not try to make a 1 hour connection, especially on a saturday. You are completely at the mercy of when your plane lands relative to the dozen or more others that come in on Saturdays and may have 2-3 planes worth of people in line ahead of you. I used to make that connection with about...

I would not worry at all about luggage not making it to LC from Brac. The plane is rarely very full going from Brac to LC.

Saw this today on an aviation news website and thought it was interesting. It is the first mention I have seen that they were successful in finding another Twin Otter. Also interesting that they are looking to completely replace the TOs and Saab's with one model of plane, which will probably...

FWIW, the situation with the twin otters on Cayman Air is mainly a fall problem. They only have 2 planes and they are over 40 years old. They need to be taken out of service periodically for maintenance that requires them to go off-island. They usually do that in the fall when travel to LC is...

One other thing to realize if you are bringing any duty free alcohol with you is that it will be in your carryon stuff on the United flight down to GC, but will need to be put into your check bags on GC. You have to clear customs and recheck your bags for the flight over to CB and you won't be...

Great! You will love it. Get your flights from Grand Cayman to Little Cayman booked as soon as you know your arriving flight into the GC. The afternoon flights from GC to LC book up very quickly and there are usually only 2-3 Saturday afternoon flights that are accessible based on the times...

There is not a huge difference in what you get between the two rooms. The pool view rooms are setup like a typical hotel room with 1 or 2 beds and a small table with a chair or two, with just a door and a window facing the pool. The ocean view rooms have more space between the beds and the...

InDepth was Craig Burkhart?'s startup on Brac that operated from the Divi dock after Divi shut down, correct? I dove with him may years ago when he was a boat captain at Brac Reef and he seemed like a fun guy.

I have been there many times in August, September, and October. Unless there is a hurricane nearby, the weather is typically dead flat calm and the diving is excellent. We have been going to the Cayman sister Islands in the fall since 1995 and in the course of about 15 trips, we have had to...

If you can find an operator that will take you there, there is a dive site near Xcaret in Cancun called Las Tortugas. I am not sure if it is only a seasonal thing, but we did about a 45 minute dive there in spring 2006 (May I believe) and we stopped counting at 53 turtles. All of them were...

My experience was the same as Tridacna, I really enjoyed the resort and the rooms were better than their resorts on CB or LC. But the diving was very rough and choppy most of the time, with nowhere near as much sea life. We did see humpbacks on a couple of surface intervals, and heard them...

You talking about Cobalt Coast? Or East Bay? I knew they had sold CC. Where did you see they sold East Bay?

Anybody know if they are still owned by the Clearly Cayman folks? Or is this rebranding part of a sale to somebody else? https://www.eastbayresort.com/east-bay-resort-to-close-for-redevelopment-and-rebranding Exciting Renovations are Underway in South Caicos East Bay Resort to close for...

Caribbean Reef Shark.

Fair enough. We are used to seeing that last flight of the day from GC to LC book up about 3 months in advance for August/September Saturdays and earlier than that during high season. And we are usually booking 7 day packages. So it has been easy for us to convince them that Sat-Sat was not...

I feel like a broken record posting this, but I keep seeing people reference it here. You don't have to do Sat-Sat to LCBR. They prefer it, and their special packages all say something to that effect. But if you let them know you can't get the flights you need to make the connection from GC...

I got this email a couple of days ago. I have family coming to visit the weekend of the 9th or I would be all over it. That price is about $400 cheaper than their usual low-season package price. Carefree Flash Sale! 7 nights at Cayman Brac Beach Resort Breakfast and dinner daily...
