Cayman Islands are awesome!!

Hey everyone & Skippy Doo!!
It's Monday & we hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday! We are still on Grand Cayman Island & we love it here! There are an insane amount of reefs to dive & it's a really clean friendly place to be! We are in town getting our dive tanks filled as we can go out & see some more! We went snorkeling a few times & had two really good dives. We saw plenty of tropical fish, a stingray, some turtles (Kristen's favorite)a mermaid (statue)a wreck with coral growing on it, and believe it or not a 4 foot long puffer fish that was like 2 feet across in it's belly. Crazy! We have never seen water this clear & pretty before! Where we are moored it's like 50 feet deep & we can see the little ripples in the sand on the bottom clearly. They are pretty serious about protecting their reef here & it shows! I've never seen so many fish!
Ben made a rope swing off the boat using the whisker pole which is pretty cool! He was doing back flips off it yesterday! Like I said..no complaints in the Caymans! We really love it here. We are leaving on Thursday though I think. It seems like there will be a good window in the weather to get us to Isla De Providencia off Nicaragua. The trip should take three days or less from here.
We are both excited to get to the San Blas islands in Panama, but Ben just informed me the other day that you are not allowed to dive there, so... we will have to get all the diving in that we can while we are here. The San Blas look amazing though!! Little islands of Palm tree forests surrounded by big white sand beaches & blue water.
We also wanted to say hi to ma & pa Davidson & say thanks for letting Skippy vacation on Blakely with you this week! We know he loves it there! We loved seeing him today on the skype camera too!!! He looks great! It was also good to talk to you. Hope you have good luck with your new chickens!
Ok, the Internet cafe closes in 10 minutes, so I have to go, but we will keep you updated & put some Cayman Pics up when we get online again!
Miss you all!!
Love, Kristen & Ben!
