Phase 2- Smith Cove to Lobster Pot


On the 29th of May, we started the second phase of our swim around Grand Cayman. This week we had someone join us, Kerri's friend Jane so there were six of us plus Richard in the kyack as we crossed the harbour. We swam the course in reverse from Smith Cove to Lobster Pot so that we could end up on the reef we finished on last time. Kate thinks we may have been the first people to swim the harbour as it is not really allowed but we had the kyack there for safety and to give us water when we could not stand the salt taste anymore!


During the swim we saw lots of sea life including three turtles, two adults and even a baby one, a huge baracuda (I was a little bit scared at this point) and even a nurse shark which was surprisingly not frightening at all.



To kickstart our early swim Kerri, Laura, Lexie and I jumped off the ledge at smith cove and Richard got some great midair shots of us!





Karen Shield did the shore drive and was the photographer from the shore. She would like to add that she did the crucial task of handing out water at the end!
To end the swim we all gathered around the pirate ship and got our picture taken with it until a boat came to tie up to it.



It was a great swim and everyone had loads of fun! We can't wait for next week!
