We didn’t know if we were going to make it to Grand Cayman or not. The challenge started in March when our AirBnB cancelled. We quickly found a new and better property on Seven Mile Beach. Then we weren’t sure if Grand Cayman would even be open by Nov 1. In late...

While in the shallows at Salt Pier in Bonaire, David noticed a group of crabs that were fighting over an empty shell. Given the number of crabs and the level of interest, we assume the shell was not empty, but contained some sort of food. The 2 larger crabs dominated...
