Sailing away...

Just booked the tickets, Caymen-Cuba-?-Caymen this time.



I need to work on my boat next week, to get it in the water, so I can fly away and go sailing.

Cayman Islands

Grand Cayman,
Little Cayman and Cayman Brac 80 miles to the East.

It's a B.O.T. (British Overseas Territory)


The Cayman Islands remained largely uninhabited until the 17th century. While there is no archaeological evidence for an indigenous people on the islands, a variety of settlers from various backgrounds made their home on the islands, including pirates, refugees from the Spanish Inquisition, shipwrecked sailors, and deserters from Oliver Cromwell's army in Jamaica.[6]


The first recorded permanent inhabitant of the Cayman Islands, Isaac Bodden, was born on Grand Cayman around 1661. He was the grandson of the original settler named Bodden who was probably one of Oliver Cromwell's soldiers at the taking of Jamaica in 1655.[7]

We see Lots of Yachts "registered" in Georgetown

[For Taxation purposes.]
That seem to spend the majority of the year in the Southeast U.S. Ports.

Pff half of the guys I met down their fly in for the weekend to buy $2m condo's, that seems to be the trend.

Its easier to buy a condo, Rolex, or start an offshore tax heaven than buy a computer printer.

Flying in cash is one thing, but Cayman accounts as a hiding place for cash.?
Things are getting more difficult.


Cayman Opts for Model 1 IGA for FATCA
Published 15th March 2013, 2:38pm

George Town, Grand Cayman – After considerable consultation with its financial services industry, and substantive discussions with US officials, the Cayman Islands Government today announced that it would adopt a Model 1 intergovernmental agreement (IGA) in response to the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).

Minister for Financial Services, the Hon. Rolston Anglin, made the announcement from the floor of the Legislative Assembly. He also said the decision will apply to a similar arrangement for the automatic exchange of certain information with the UK, and that he expects final negotiations on the mechanisms for exchange with the US and the UK to conclude quickly...........
