We arrived on Grand Cayman yesterday afternoon and it was overcast and there was intermittent rain. The trip through immigration and customs was the easiest I have ever experienced. When planes arrive and a long "Visitors" line forms they start moving visitors into the "Residents" and "Caymanians" lines to make things go faster - the same thing happened in Customs.
Today was beautiful, sunny/partly cloudy with no rain but windy and rough - although the west side looked calmer. We hope to do some snorkeling, shore diving, and maybe some boat dives before heading to Little Cayman next week. Right now we are relaxing!
I had heard that Hurricane Nate had moved the location of the Kittiwake wreck, but I was surprised to learn that Nate also took out the dock at the West Bay Marina and many of the dive and excursion boats are now leaving from the yacht clubs, mostly the CIYC I think - but we were at the George Town Yacht Club today for the excellent cracked conch and we saw a dive boat loading up.
The manager of our hotel told us that "Hurricane Nate was kind of a non-event" but it seems that it did make an impact - although the island looks like the same beautiful place and we don't notice any changes.
