Caymanian fishing boat adrift at sea
Efforts are underway to help rescue a Caymanian fishing boat.
The Cayman Coast Guard received a distress call Sunday morning from the crew of the 36-foot boat Cardvern.
However, because the boat is in Honduran territorial waters, a local rescue was not an option. Instead, authorities initiated international notification protocols.
Officials note that the Coast Guard remains in close communication with international partners and continues to monitor the situation to ensure the safety of those on board.

Cayman announces more direct flights as it eyes tourism boom
In a strategic push to enhance connectivity and reach priority markets, the Cayman Islands is expanding direct flights from key US and regional cities through partnerships with major airlines including Delta, United, American Airlines, JetBlue, Southwest and its national carrier, Cayman Airways.
Building on its regular Atlanta service, Delta will resume nonstop flights from Detroit and introduce a new weekly route from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to Grand Cayman starting 20 December – marking its first JFK-Cayman connection in over a decade.
United, which already serves Grand Cayman from Houston, Newark and Washington DC, will expand its winter 2025/2026 schedule with increased flights from Chicago O’Hare and Washington Dulles. Meanwhile, American Airlines will reintroduce overnight service from Miami in October for a trial period through 1 November – arriving in Grand Cayman in the evening and departing the following morning.
