On 22nd May 2011, Kate Alexander, Lexie Kelly, Laura McLean, Kerri Kanuga and Lois Moody started their swim around Grand Cayman. The idea was thought of and put into action by Kate. In total it will be approximately 54.5 miles and swam in 25 stages. This has never been done before and will be a historic swim.
The first leg was from Royal Palms to Lobster Pot. Five of us set off at about 8.15 on Sunday morning having given up our lie in in bed. Kate and Kerri both swam with orange inflatable safety buoys so we could be seen by any passing watercraft. During the swim we saw lots of tropical fish including huge tarpon, a barracuda, and many brightly coloured smaller fish too.
My dad, Richard Moody, walked along the beach by us while we swam and we have now appointed him to kayak alongside us as a safety measure.
We are looking forward to the next swim on Sunday 29th May from the Lobster Pot to Sunset House or Smith Cove.
Follow our blog to see how we get on!
