Sea Spray

Thursday 20th - We have to time our leaving Little Harbor carefully as we need help from the tide to get out of Little Harbor and we also need it for the passage between Lubbers Quarter and Elbow Cay. Sorry no one seems to know for sure how it got it's name. There are multiple stories from land lubbers, pirates and monk seals. You get to choose.

We're getting a little leery about descriptions in the guide books. We now understand that phrases like "relaxing comes naturally here" and "at any time you can enjoy the amazing views" translate into "there's bugger all else to do here".

The Sea Spray marina had a full page advert describing their resort marina which boasted pool, Atlantic beach, restaurant etc.. Now it did have those but for some reason we were put off by the dredger moored up just ahead of it. The beach was ironshore (well that's what they called it in Cayman) so we didn't swim off it. I did see a surfer out that next day apparently it suits surfers because it doesn't have the protective reef. Although he can't have been too happy as the waves seemed to break just as he started to ride them.

So nothing wrong with Sea Spray, maybe we're just happier at anchor, unless there is something to do ashore.
