We went out to Rum Point on Grand Cayman Island for an amazing Beach Bash! Amazing chefs from countries all around the world as I gorged and gorged. I was barely able to move around enough to fly the quad up to get this shot :) #caymancookout #rcmemories #grandcayman #Twitter via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
I took my quadcopter to a new high to see the curve of the earth over Grand Cayman island during another amazing sunset. Next, heading to Aruba then San Juan then St. Thomas before stopping in Cairo to visit the Great Pyramids and then back to New Zealand. #grandcayman #caymancookout #rcmemories #ritcarlton @ritzcarlton via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
Another beautiful sunset last night here on Grand Cayman. I've been really lucky here to get such good light. I literally have so many sunrise and sunset photos I don't know which to process first! But I'm just now dipping my toes in... #Grandcayman #rcmemories #caymancookout via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
Walking along the beach in the early morning in Grand Cayman... #Grandcayman #rcmemories #caymancookout via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
This was the sunset before the Barefoot BBQ here on Grand Cayman island last night. We took off our shoes while great chefs like Eric Ripert, José Andrés. and Anthony Bourdain cooked up their favorite island dishes. How fun! It went late into the night and I ate waaaay too much. I'm feeling guilty so about to go out for a morning jog on that beach down there - 7-mile beach that runs in front of the Ritz-Carlton below. #Caymancookout #rcmemories #grandcayman #twitter via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
The moon sets behind a catamaran at dawn here. Join me at 10 AM EST with Bourdain as we have a fun live event on ift.tt/1QyRtPD ! This was shot off the beach here on the Grand Cayman islands - Anthony Bourdain and a bunch of other chefs are here at the Ritz-Carlton for the famous #CaymanCookout #GrandCayman #RCMemories #Twitter via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
The water here on Grand Cayman is so warm and clear! #caymancookout #rcmemories #caymanislands #grandcayman #grandcaymanisland
Anthony @Bourdain holds the hand of his 9-year-old daughter as they walk off the yacht and onto Rum Point yesterday for an amazing lunch called the Beach Bash. It's fun to watch him run around with his girl... reminds me of my little Scarlett (8) and my little Isabella (11) :) Except I don't have a yacht. #caymancookout #rcmemories #grandcayman #twitter via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
What a great day out here in the shallows inside the lagoon of Grand Cayman Island. This is another photo I took with the Mavic! This thing is rock solid in the daytime and with a bit of wind. I will tell you that landing on the catamaran was Very Difficult. I've landed on lots of boats, and each time it takes 200% of my concentration!
The Phantom series of quads are much easier to catch because they have more pronounced legs. So, it's easier for a friend (or yourself with one hand) to reach up and grab it. With the Mavic, you only have about half a finger's worth of room before you hit the blades.

This is where the Beach Bash was held at Rum Point. It was a great day out there with amazing food. Too much good food, in fact! But I guess that's not such a bad problem. #caymancookout #rcmemories #caymanislands #grandcayman #grandcaymanisland
Here's one of my favorite restaurants on Grand Cayman: Taikun! It serves incredible Japanese food. It was the first place I had "real" wasabi made for me tableside by rubbing the special wasabi root on sharkskin. It's so good, you can eat the wasabi by itself! #caymancookout #rcmemories #caymanislands #grandcayman #grandcaymanisland
The weather has been amazing this week for the Cayman Cookout! We've been doing some testing and comparing the Mavic to the Phantom. This one was taken with the Mavic; I really like using this little machine. The DJI Go 4 App has been causing is A LOT of problems on both iOS and Android... lots of disconnects. Very frustrating! So a lot of these photos have been "guesses," but some guesses have gone really well!

Here we are right in the middle of 7-mile beach. How serene!

The Cayman Cookout just got started here at the Ritz-Carlton in the Grand Cayman Islands. We're about to go to a fun event called Around the World with Anthony Bourdain. There's about 10 different chefs from different countries that set up mini-kitchens and they make their favorite meals while Anthony jumps around with a microphone and tries all of them. So... I guess it's gonna be another day of big eating!

Last night at the Barefoot BBQ, everyone stopped eating for 3 minutes (the only time we've stopped eating, sadly), to watch this guy who rocked up on the beach. It was really amazing... never seen anything like this at night. He did flips and, well, everything was basically a real crowd pleaser. I was worried if he fell in the water he'd be electrocuted.
I shot this with the 50mm F/0.95 lens. I was lucky to have it on because it was really dark out there. That strange lens flare you see seems to be a "thing" with this particular lens, but I think it looks cool!

The chefs Eric Ripert and Anthony Bourdain enjoyed a very long game of petanque here at the courts of the Ritz-Carlton on Grand Cayman Island. It's one of the regular events here, and this one went into the dark. Very serious French referees had to use mobile phone lights to do some hardcore measuring to figure out the winner. #caymancookout #rcmemories #caymanislands #grandcayman #grandcaymanisland
Here's just a few of the amazing chefs here this week for the cookout, relaxing in the waters here and having ocean drinks. I was super embarrassed when I took this photo! One of the chef-wives was on the beach and she came to get me to come take a photo of them out there. So I walked over to the edge of the water to try to size up the shot. I was trying to get the right focal length and zoom, and I started backing up for a bit of compression in the composition, and the beach got super-steep, so I fell over. There's no smooth way of recovering from that, but I got back up and took this photo while they were laughing haha.

Another beautiful sunset here on Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman here in front of the Ritz-Carlton. The clouds have been super-dramatic the past few days.

Enjoying the warm calm seas at sunset here in the Grand Cayman Islands. #caymancookout #rcmemories #caymanislands #grandcayman #grandcaymanisland
Another beautiful sunset from Grand Cayman Island. I found out from a friend it is pronounced cay-MAN and the locals can all tell who is not local if they say CAY-min. I also found out you pronounce "Conch" like "Conk." My level of not knowing things is always a welcome and sad surprise! Anyway, now I'm over in Sarasota on the beach trying to get more sunset photos. I'm probably pronouncing both "Sarasota" and "Beach" incorrectly as well.

Today we got up early to get on some catamarans and sail over to a big eating event called the Beach Bash here at the Grand Cayman Cookout. Along the way, there were a bunch of stingrays out in the shallows, so almost everyone jumped in to have a swim with them. Not me... I don't have many irrational fears, but I was stung by one and ended up in the hospital. It seemed a lot safer to stay on the boat and take photos! #caymancookout #rcmemories #caymanislands #grandcayman #grandcaymanisland
I'm now here on the Grand Cayman Islands for the Cayman Cookout, where great chefs from around the world come for an epic week of cooking and eating. I'll probably end up doing another FB live show with Anthony (in photo) and some of the other great chefs that are here. I don't really have much of a plan, but maybe that's a good thing. Last time I gained 5 pounds and I was in a shame spiral. This time, I'm planning on gaining 5 pounds in addition to setting some very low personal expectations.

I was walking out of taking photos of one of the cooking classes on the beach and I saw these two gentlemen chilling out. There was this gauzy sheet behind them that made them look super-epic. So I just had to stop for a quick photo.
