First thing this morning we picked up, a bucket hat-wearing, James up from the airport following his week away at the Central Caribbean Marine Institute.

He loved it.

His highlight?

Diving with an eight-foot Caribbean reef shark.

At night.

Just to get that into perspective, three years ago, James was worried about the idea of diving and scared of sharks.

Now, he is diving at night, over the Cayman Wall (6000+ft of water), with sharks that are two feet longer than he is.

Typical teenager, as soon as he got home he went to sleep.

So leaving sleeping beauty at home, this afternoon we dropped Poppy at the airport as she headed off with the Caymanite Team to Canada. The Artistic Swimmers representing the Cayman Islands are off to training camp in Waterloo in preparation for the UANA Artistic Swimming Pan American Championships in Windsor, Ontario.

She has spent the last two weeks training ready for the competition.
