| - | Aruba is one of the four countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands, along with the [[:holland|Netherlands]], [[:curacao|Curaçao]], and [[:saint_martin_sint_maarten|Sint Maarten]]; the citizens of these countries are all Dutch nationals. As of 2023 we have not seen surfskis on Aruba, but obviously it has a history with windsports, so other forms of downwinding should be available. | + | Wikipedia: "Cayman Islands is a self-governing [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Overseas_Territories|British Overseas Territory]], and the largest by population. The 264-square-kilometre (102-square-mile) territory comprises the three islands of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Cayman|Grand Cayman]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Brac|Cayman Brac]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Cayman|Little Cayman]], which are located south of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba|Cuba]] and north-east of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honduras|Honduras]], between [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica|Jamaica]] and Mexico's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucatán_Peninsula|Yucatán Peninsula]]." |

| + | We currently don't have any downwinder reports or videos, but clearly there is plenty of wind around the Caymans and other windsports are quite popular, so we can only assume there is some opportunity for downwinding. | ||
