A three-day weekend (National Heros Day) so we were all set to go to Little Cayman. Then Hayley and Jenn got sick, so Hunter and I left them behind for a weekend of fun in the sun. Lots of sailing, fishing, conching and of course some karaoke!
Sailing lessons from Captain Owen.
Waiting for the flight this afternoon we enjoyed a beverage at the Hungry Iguana! Now back home to a cold Monday night and a still-sick Jenn and recovering Hayley. Sorry they missed a great weekend.
Finally got my hands on the Christmas pictures! Why am I the only one with shoes on? The Old Man Bay Roulstones at Granny's house, Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman.
Katherine, Hunter and Hayley sitting on Hunter's sailboat.
Three generations of Roulstones: Hayley Elizabeth, Cicely Elizabeth, Frank Ellsworth Jr., Frank Ellsworth III and Hunter Ellsworth Roulstone.
The entire Roulstone Family, and just about the last Caymanian family to own a part of Seven Mile Beach! Includes Katherine Bovre, Sharon Roulstone-Bovre, Shirley Roulstone.
I cooked dinner and a few friends stopped by. We then started a game of Risk...
which at 1am was finally won by Janice! 
The Sunday morning started with getting lobsters, but they are now getting scarce as the season starts to wind down. But we did get a few lobster and our limit of conch.
After steaming the lobster to make lobster salad, and marinating the conch we were off to Rum Point.
The kids had a great time,
and it was a beautiful day.
So, from 10am until 5pm we were enjoying good times with good friends and family!
I still have not seen the family pictures the professional photographer took of the family at Christmas. But a guest in the apartments kindly emailed me one that he took, note we are looking toward the other camera! Anyway, this is the Roulstone family December 2007. Thank you Bob for the picture!
Beautiful weather during the Winter months is too good to pass-up. So we went fishing at 5:30am this morning. Just after sunrise we landed our first fish; a very nice Wahoo.
Later Paul caught the first of 5 Barracudas,
And despite losing a very large Tuna, we ended up with a respectable catch: 1 Wahoo, an Ocean Yellowtail, Ocean Turbot, and Red Snapper. We also caught a large Bar Jack which we uesed for bait to catch the others. The it was home for a swim in the pool...
so Hayley, Hunter and I had a swim while our super-nanny (from Manitoba????) insisted the water was too cold! Go figure.
Hunter lost his second front tooth tonight. He lost the first one when I was away in Little Cayman. So the tooth fairy got a break the first time but not tonight!
Hayley has perfect teeth so thankfully will spare her father orthodontist bills for a couple more years at least! And I think the tooth fairy is also off the hook with her for a while too!
Getting into the boat is not graceful!
And the blasted Man O'war birds kept stealing our fish!
But they didn't get them all! (A nice Yellow Jack)
The weekend was characterized by fishing, snorkelling, good company and eating. Owen and I out towing for jacks.
Snorkelling for some fresh lobster...
Spotted Trunkfish.
Gary and I dig into the fresh lobster.
And finally the sun set on a beautiful New Year's weekend!
