Paddler circumnavigates Grand Cayman in Guinness record attempt

Grant Gilliam circumnavigated Grand Cayman on a paddleboard in record time – a feat set for the Guinness World Records, pending official confirmation.

Gilliam left the public dock in West Bay at around 8pm on 3 Oct., travelling around the island clockwise, reaching where he started at approximately 4:15pm the next day.

“It was very tough, suffering, humbling. It was probably the hardest thing I have ever done, mentally and physically,” Gilliam said shortly after completing the voyage around the island. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
