Day 51 Breathtaking Snorkel

 

Jessica and I sailed to Sandy cay. The ocean swells were coming through the reef so it was a bit roly, but we decided to give the snorkel a try. We were blessed with the most beautiful reef that I have ever seen in my life. The visibility was over 100 feet and we saw turtles, eagle rays, parrot fish, trumpet fish, barracuda, Sergeant Majors, sharks, and a lot of other species that I could not identify.  Jessica was a trooper, getting on and off the dinghy with no ladder on top of the reef.  The Bahemian Pelican Cayes and Land Sea Park had dinghy Mooring balls positioned in the sand just outside of the reef that we could tie up the dinghy to.  We held hands and it seemed magical to swim alongside the eagle rays and the turtles. In one video you can see the Remora leave his host animal, the Eagle Ray, and swim straight toward me to try and attach to my wet suit, which startled me quite a bit!
