Brac trip - visual random impressions

This would be the official address...and that was the sign posted on the door . There is
only one room designated for us in the very small building of the D0A in Cayman Brac. Everybody knocked;) !

And this is the official Agriculture Department in Cayman Brac...
These are a few aerian views of the island. Taken from the twin otter that brought us there, you can appreciate for yourself the clarity of the Tropical Atlantic around the Cayman Islands. Visibility is in excess of 100 feet....aaaahhm, I mean 30 meters:)






These are the boats of the dive operators that run their business in
the sister islands. Allegedly, the reef
is more intact then onto the main island due to a smaller amounts of divers going down daily. One can also see, in the bottom line of the picture, the main road that goes around the island.

The landing is done onto a small grass strip with a bit of asphalt in the middle.It still looks better then a regular romanian road;)

Sister islands

There seems to be a trend amongst us, with working on various little islands. Mihnea is in Palau, Irina and Ricky just returned from their little Greek island, Alina is onto the big British island.

Well, I left my normal island and set out to one of the Cayman sister islands, called the Brac. I had been already there for climbing, but this time we were onto work! It is a small island, about half an hour flight away from the mother island. A small, second world war plane, takes one there, with the pilot flying the plane with an open door...and so close, in arm length distance!
He says "How'dy folks" and then flies off:)

Once there, the typical small far away tropical island. 1200 people, few cars, churches, many post offices, and animals needing veterinary attention! Our clinic makes a monthly 2 day trip there, one day of surgeries and one day of appointments. Believe it or not, all the way out there, we had iso anesthesia, which to me is pretty amazing.

All else was pretty normal. a small traditional caymanian house that belongs to the Department of Agriculture, and we fitted nicely in one of their rooms. The feeling of far away into an exotic place was right at home! Some spays and neuters, lots of appointments, a few very interesting skin cases....

2 days of work, few Coronas with lime and salt later, another plane trip back and I was back to the mother Island!

Pictures to come soon!
