2 days of lively off-wind sailing from Jamaica to Grand Cayman.
With Covid-19 starting to cause concern, we departed Jamaica and headed for the medical security of Grand Cayman, which we hoped to explore before any restrictions were applied. We left Montego Bay on a fast beam reach, aiming to arrive in Cayman Brac the following morning.
But as we approached, the sea-state increased and aligned itself with the island. The heavy waves rolling down both sides of the island meant there was no tenable anchorage or mooring to be taken and we had no choice but sail right passed both Cayman Brac and Little Cayman and continue a further 100 miles west, to Grand Cayman.
It was a rolly downwind sail and we arrived late in the evening to George Town where we took a mooring ball. The following day, as we checked-in, we discovered Cayman would close its borders to arriving yachts the following day. We were lucky, we were in!
