In the morning of May 30th Diesel Duck tied up at the Custom’s dock of George Town, Cayman Islands. We had left Shelter Bay Marina, Panama at 14:00 hrs on Thursday with blue skies and light winds. The next day at sea we were able to use our jib sail in addition to our main. On Saturday we were close hauled with increased wind and the seas started to slap our hull spraying our decks and windows with green water, encrusting everything with salt. On Sunday we had several squalls. One in particular that I clocked at 35 knots of wind with the rain coming down in sheets, then driving with such force over the sea that through the sheer pressure of the rain on the door, the water found its way through a tiny gap, gushing onto the floor like an open faucet. I was busy mopping while Benno had his hands full tying a reef into the main while he tried to brace himself in the wild motion and torrential downpour. So we were delighted to pull into the calm surroundings of the Grand Cayman harbor the next day. Four officials came onboard minutes after we tied up to check us into the country. Such efficiency, pleasant and friendly treatment we hadn’t encountered for a long, long time. DD tied to the Custom’s dock in this picture.
