Thanks for the article... read it and sent it on to my mom and grandma. Taking them (plus my dad and another friend) all on their first cruise in December, and they are all interested in Stingray City. Wish I could see Grams face as she reads that :lol

Update Capt Marvins
This is the email I just received from Capt. Marvins...
To all of you who have written with questions about how we are doing
after
> Hurricane Ivan, here is a brief update. Thank you for your prayers and
> concern; they have meant a lot to us during the past several days.
>
> The island has been ravaged by the hurricane. Most people have sustained
> damage to their homes and businesses. The trees are mostly gone; what are
> left standing have few or no leaves/fronds left on them. There are
> literally tons and tons of debris that need to be cleared, but this
> massive task is underway and there is a great improvement already.
>
> Capt. Marvin's Watersports lost two of our three locations, but the one
in
> town at the Waterfront Centre is intact and although we have sustained
> some water damage, everything else seems to be fine here. We lost one of
> our boats but hope to bring that back up and get it going again. All of
> our crew, staff and owners and their families are well, which is the
> biggest blessing of all. We are thankful for life.
>
> Grand Cayman has never in recorded history been hit directly by a
> hurricane, much less a category 5 hurricane such as Ivan was, with
> sustained winds of over 165 mph, and gusts up to 208 mph recorded at the
> airport.
>
> Flights with returning residents and emergency/humanitarian supplies are
> arriving daily. One cruise ship arrived today with no tourists, but with
> humanitarian supplies, for which we are very grateful. We plan to be up
> and going whenever the first tourist arrives here, by land or by sea. We
> are actually capable of running at almost full capacity already, so we
> will be ready as soon as the first tourists arrive again.
>
By the way, the Turtle Farm survived the storm in great shape!
> Thank you again for all of your prayers and concern. I apologize for the
> global email, but just don't have time to write to everyone individually
> right now. There were almost 500 emails waiting for me when I booted up
> the computer for the first time today!
>
> Gratefully yours,
> Ruth and the staff and crew from Capt. Marvin's
