After 7 years, loads of dedicated volunteers, support from the Tourism Association, our members and the Cayman Island Govenrment and a lovel yship from MARAD, we are jsut about there! A glorious day to celebrate a new attraction and a histroic moment!
I am overjoyed that the date has been set, and I am looking forward to it. As a former crew member, i just cannot wait to see the old "kitty." As a native Miami boy, and a diver since age 12, I have suddenly realized that I have never been to the Caymans. So I will be fixing that issue next month as well.
Also great to ee this new site. Information has been very "here and there" for a while.
I hope to see you all there.
Any former crew that remember me, ge in touch!
