Stingray City!!! (and a blog entry from one of the boys!)

Have received some wonderful updates this morning from our hostess with the mostest, Sara Mackay. This photo was taken as the group headed off on a catamaran to Stingray City. Rod at Red Sail Sports is our hero, as is BJ Bedford, American Olympic gold medalist who joined the team for the adventure...

And a couple of blog entries from the swimmers...

On Saturday we all attended the Flowers 1 mile Sea Swim. The swim was amazing, it was a very hot day, and the water was crystal blue. Everyone did great swims.
Overall Eugene came 4th, Seb came 8th, Beth came 12th, Cam came 15th, Lucy came 18th, Phoebe came 26th and Alex came 37th.
And Drew, who got beaten by the little girls, came 43rd. Both Beth and Eugene got trophies. Eugene placed 3rd guy and Beth was 2nd girl.
After the race random prizes were given out, Cam won a Cayman Airways air ticket and Lucy won a pass to swim with dolphins. Everyone had a great day.

Sunday we all went on a catamaran to ‘stingray city’ with lots of other people to swim with the stingrays. It was a great experience for us all. The water was nice, warm and very shallow so we could all stand up to see the stingrays. At first there were lots and lots of shrieking coming from the girls as the stingrays swam around them but they soon got used to them. There were several of them, big and little. Drew caught us a couple of big stingrays which we got to hold.
After that we all got back on the boat and travelled to the MacKay’s beach house for lunch. Lunch was great we had sausages and salad, which Cam actually ate some of! And popsicles. We all returned to our home stays exhausted from the awesome day we had.
