It’s a Saturday afternoon in Grand Cayman, the temperature is in the mid 90’s and everyone on the island is seeking some sort of relief from the blazing sun. What do you do? Some people prefer to stay in their air-conditioned rooms, some plunge into a pool and others like me prefer to go to the beach where you can play beach volleyball and at any given point in time dive into the cool waters of the Caribbean sea.
On this particular Saturday, the volleyball at the beach had been organized by one of the big four accounting firms on the island. These affairs are always very well organized, with plenty of food (barbeque Caribbean style) and drinks to suit all tastes. Most of my friends work in all the big accounting and banking firms on the island, so it is never to difficult to get an invitation to one of these functions. The beach volleyball itself is played in a very relaxed manner and there are no fixed teams, you simply jus join the team that you most like (if they will accept you) and you are good to go. Do not worry about your volleyball skills because everyone is in it purely for fun and it shows. There are about 5 or 6 volleyball nets at the public beach on West Bay road, right next to Calico Jacks beach bar, the sand is absolutely wonderful and they have public “cabanas” if you feel you need to hide sun.
What always amazes me at any given function on the island, is the amount of food that is available and how good it tastes. At this particular function I had some of the best pork ribs I have ever tasted, they were very succulent and the barbeque sauce was to die for!
