‘A mockery’: how offshore tax havens are thwarting the UK’s transparency push
By Rob Davies

Critics say ownership registers are too costly and too complicated, scuppering attempts to expose alleged money laundering

A NYT review of #securities filings from nearly 500 companies showed that they avoided taxes by attributing hundreds of billions of dollars in earnings to low- or no-tax foreign locales like #Cyprus, #Bermuda, #Switzerland & the #CaymanIslands. Often, #corporations funneled profits through subsidiaries in places where they had no employees, offices or customers.

A Mother-Daughter 2025 Cruise Trip: Our Day In the Cayman Islands

I would like to thank you for reading my Mother-Daughter Cruise Trip series so far. It means a lot to me to share our first experience being outside the country. If you haven’t read the earlier post about how transformative the cruise was for us, you can read it here.

The third and final port day of our trip was the Cayman Islands. I loved every moment we spent there. To get to the island, we had to take a catamaran boat from the ship. Several of us boarded at a time to ensure we arrived safely. The nerve-racking part for me at first was walking down the lower deck ramp from the cruise ship, which felt like it was moving beneath me. My anxiety immediately kicked in, and of course, my mind started running through worst-case scenarios as I made my way toward the catamaran.

I wanted my daughter to go first, but she has anxiety too, so we had one of those silent exchanges where neither of us wanted to move first. Once we were on the boat heading toward the island, everything shifted. The combination of the fresh air and ocean spray felt exhilarating. Despite our initial anxiety, the ride became one of the most peaceful moments of the trip.

When we arrived at the pier, the first thing that stood out was how easily everything flowed. People moved with a calmness noticeably different from our other stops. It also wasn’t very crowded, even with another ship nearby, which made the atmosphere feel even more relaxed.

From there, we took in more of the island, and what struck me most was how calm everything felt. There was beauty all around, but unlike at earlier stops, I felt I could actually breathe and enjoy it.

Before walking around any further, we stopped at a food vendor and bought Jamaican beef patties and drinks. The crust was flaky and delicious. We sat outside at picnic tables and did one of our favorite things—people-watching. While we were there, a Caymanian group performed a beautiful dance-and-singing routine, making the moment feel even more special.

After lunch and the performance, we wandered through the shops for a bit but didn’t buy anything. Then we walked farther into town to take in the sights. The town was gorgeous and full of life. We saw artwork displayed along a wall and spotted a rooster walking around as if it didn’t have a care in the world. I wondered about its safety, but it seemed at ease with people and unfazed by its surroundings.

Something about the island reminded me of Myrtle Beach. They’re obviously different places, but they share a similar feeling: welcoming, serene, and full of life in a way that made it easy to settle in and enjoy the moment.

What also stood out was how different this stop felt from the others. Only one person approached us, promoting a jewelry store with a sales card offering a discount. She was kind and professional, and we kept the card as a souvenir. Other than that, no one pressured us. Businesses mostly promoted themselves through signs, and we were free to walk around town at our own pace. We stayed in the main area and made our way through it in a relaxed loop.

We made our way back to the catamaran about an hour before it was time to board the ship. Heading back felt harder than I expected, almost like leaving a place I had just begun to connect with. Even now, I still feel that pull, making me want to return one day and stay longer, maybe for a weekend instead of just a few hours.

Back on the ship, we spent our last night at an ’80s glow party. We didn’t dress in themed outfits, but it didn’t matter; it was still so much fun. Hearing the music and watching everyone dance brought a different kind of energy to the night. At one point, my daughter and I even joined the Thriller line dance. I don’t usually dance in front of people, but in that moment, I didn’t care. It became a memory I’ll always hold onto, even if I hope there’s no video of it somewhere.

Looking back, those six nights and seven days gave us more than just a trip. They gave us moments to learn, adjust, and experience things in ways we hadn’t before.

Grand Cayman felt like the peaceful ending we needed. After the brevity of Nassau and the complexity of Jamaica, this stop gave us space to simply be, to walk, breathe, observe, and enjoy. It was the kind of island experience I had imagined when I first dreamed of taking this trip, and I’m glad it was our final stop before heading home.

And in its own way, it reminded me that not every part of a journey is meant to feel the same, but each part still gives you something to carry with you.

Have you ever experienced a trip that felt serene and exactly what you needed at the time? Share your favorite serene travel memories below. I can’t wait to read them!

P.S. Does anyone else have a go-to dance floor memory they hope wasn’t caught on camera? Just me?

It seems the 10 meter band is getting better! I got 26 SSB contacts, mostly to POTA parks, but a few random contacts too! I'm so excited with the band opening up again for the season!

I even got a contact in the Cayman Islands!

I've got my shack all insulated and set up for winter too, so I won't freeze to death trying to make contacts. All in all, it's been a great weekend!

BTW

though technically in the Atlantic, we include #Bermuda ―which in Spanish is Las Bermudas―, the #Bahamas and #TurksCaicos as part of our AfroIndigenous Caribbean cousinhood.

and we all forget that the #CaymanIslands exist.

BTW²

#Cuba #Jamaica #LaEspañola (#Ayití) #PuertoRico #Bermudas are all, technically not just islands but archipelagos.

so the Caribbean, with its Atlantic cousins, is a geographic archipelago that is composed of politically divided micro-archipelagos.
