This HD video focuses on the 5th day of Paul’s cruise. After a 300+ mile overnight cruise. the Caribbean Princess’ arrived at about 7:00 am in the Grand Cayman Island’s city of George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands Territory. This HD video shows the arrival, the shuttle boat trips to/from the George Town dock, the exploration of George Town and Paul’s return to the Caribbean Princess at about 2:00 pm.
Grand Cayman is the largest of the three Cayman Islands and the location of the territory's capital, George Town. The Island is administered by the United Kingdom. Its about 76 square miles in size and has a total population of about 52,000+ people, with a majority of its citizens (27,000+) leaving in its capital George Town.
“Of the flora, a good representation of the variety of plant life on Grand Cayman can be found at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park located in the North Side District. At the park, one can find wild banana orchids, ghost orchids, thatch palm trees, red birch trees, mahogany trees and various fruit trees such as avocado, mango, guinep, naseberry, breadfruit, and tamarind. Yellow mastics and black mastics can also be seen.” *
In terms of wild life, the Island has blue iguanas, Grand Cayman amazon parrots, Central American agouti, and distinctive species of land crab. “The Cayman Islands Turtle Farm located in the West Bay district raises green sea turtles for their meat and to release into the wild.
Through breeding, the farm produces upwards of 1800 turtles a year. Between 1980 and 2006, the farm released approximately 30,600 turtles to the wild; because of a mark placed on each animal, the released turtles have been seen throughout the Caribbean.” *
“There are just under 600 banks and trust companies in the Grand Cayman, including 43 of the 50 largest banks in the world. Because of this large financial presence on the island, banking, investments, and insurance drive the economy in Grand Cayman.” * The financial services industry accounts for over 55% of the total economy, 36%+ of all employment, and 40%+ of all government revenue. Because of the Cayman Islands’s Financial Secrecy Laws, recent investigations have indicated that the Cayman financial institutions are often used by many crooks to hide money they have stolen or to evade taxes. *
“George Town is the heart of the Cayman Islands financial services industry. The Caymanian government offices are located in the city. The Caymanian government offices are located in George Town. These offices include the Legislative Assembly of the Cayman Islands, the Court Houses and the Government Administration Building.” **
“George Town is a popular port of call for the Caribbean with cruise ships anchoring in George Town Harbour Tuesday through Friday. Cruise ships calling at George Town anchor offshore and ferry their passengers ashore by tenders, also known as shuttle boats. Passengers disembark in George Town, in the centre of the Grand Cayman shopping district and usually remain anchored from early morning until mid-afternoon…….Activities available to tourists in George Town include submarine tours of George Town Harbour, glass-bottom boat tours, snorkelling, scuba-diving, parasailing, charter boat tours, rum distillery tours, art galleries, a historical museum, and of course, shopping and eating.” **

Turtles Farm, Dolphin Discovery, West Bay, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, Caribbean, North America
Dolphin Discovery is a Mexican company which offers interactive programs with dolphins, sea lions and manatees in six locations in Mexico: Puerto Aventuras (Riviera Maya), Cozumel, Cancun-Isla Mujeres, Six Flags Park Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta. Out of Mexico, it has two more locations: the islands of Grand Cayman and Tortola. The company started operations in Cancun and Isla Mujeres in 1990. Dolphin Discovery currently offers programs with dolphins, manatees, sea lions, stingrays,and sharks. Cayman Turtle Farm is a conservation facility and tourist attraction located in the West Bay district of the Cayman Islands. It is used for raising the endangered Green Sea Turtle. Established in 1968 by a group of American and British investors as Mariculture Limited, the farm was initially a facility used to raise the Green Sea Turtle for commercial purposes. By raising the turtle in a farming operation, the investors could raise turtle-meat for consumption without depleting the wild population of the species. Still in operation as a farm that breeds and raises turtles in order to sell product, the Cayman Turtle Farm has also become a research center and tourist attraction. Currently, the farm is a conservation project as well as the largest land-based attraction in the Cayman Islands. The turtle farm welcomes more than 500,000 visitors annually. With the farm becoming successful in breeding and researching the Green Sea Turtle as well as the Kemp's ridley sea turtle, the farm became one of the most successful tourist attractions in the Caymans by the turn of the 21st century. The farm is 23 acres and featured predators, birds, caiman, and other creatures in addition to turtles. In 2001, however, a severe setback to the success of the farm as an attraction and breeding and research facility located next to the sea occurred on November 4, 2001, when large waves generated by Hurricane Michelle inundated the facility. The hurricane was located 90 miles southwest of Grand Cayman and produced little wind, but the waves washed turtles of all sizes from hatchlings to 600 pound adults out to sea. Cayman residents responded to help rescue the turtles and many were saved at the time. For months thereafter, the yellow-tagged turtles from the farm were spotted around the island for following Hurricane Michelle. 75% of the breeding turtles were lost. The farm's release and meat supply programs were reduced in an effort to build up the population following the event. As a result of the disaster, the Cayman Islands government conceived a new vision for the farm when the breeding pond was relocated across West Bay Road from the current facility. The new and more modern facility was far enough away from the sea that it would no longer be in danger of high seas such as had been experienced during the 2001 hurricane season. As well, the new park became an expanded facility to include a nature park. The new tourist facility was named Boatswain's Beach. Following the expansion, the entire park contained 23 acres that included a nature trail and aviary as well as a reef lagoon where visitors could snorkel with native fish and other local sea life, including the Green Sea Turtle. A fresh water lagoon and waterfall was also included in addition to a predator tank where reef sharks would habitate. Visitors were still allowed entry to the areas around the turtle breeding and feeding tanks. In 2010 the facility changed its name from Boatswain's Beach to Cayman Turtle Farm: Island Wildlife Encounter and in 2012 it added a water slide feature to its fresh water lagoon. The Cayman Turtle Farm is the only facility of its kind in the world. It is also the only facility to have achieved the 2nd generation of sea turtles bred in captivity. It was also the first facility to successfully breed the endangered Kemp's Ridley turtle in captivity. Approximately 100 scientific papers have been presented or published based on work in collaboration with researchers at Cayman Turtle Farm. The largest turtle at the facility is Sparky, a 70-year old female that weighs about 550 pounds. While on his maritime travels, Christopher Columbus, when coming across the Cayman Islands in 1503, called the islands Las Tortugas, because of the abundance of Green Sea Turtles found there. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Cayman Islands became a stopping point for sea vessels sailing the Caribbean Sea in need of food; the turtles caught in the Caymans were taken aboard ship and kept alive as a source of fresh meat. As settlements and towns on the islands were established over time, turtling became a way of survival and means of income in the Caymans. By the 19th century, however, the turtle population around the islands was near depleted and commerce centered around the Green Sea Turtle shifted to the Caribbean off the coast of Nicaragua in Central America.
