So Much to See in the Sea

Trivia factoid: "The praying mantis is the only insect that can turn it's head!"
The last few days with Gloria have been fun packed and busy. Sunday we went on a sunset cruise and had a great time! We cruised up the coast a few miles to a small beach where we all hopped in the water with our noodles to relax in the water for awhile. Prior to that we had some great viewing of sea life.  We got to see Humpback whales, dolphins, sting rays, and sea turtles; all before we even made it to our swimming destination. The following pictures will give you a sampling of what we experienced...

First call for the shuttle boat....

Ready to set sail...

Virgin Pina Coladas, or is it Virgins with Pina Coladas??

Just caught the tail end of a Humpback breaching ...

Thar she blows!!!

Looks like a Humpback to me!!

We had a visit from a sting ray who was sunning his tips!!

These green sea turtles were caught in a very amorous situation!!

Grab your fins and masks or noodles and hit the waves!!

More water "noodlers" bobbing in the calm of a cove.

Mr. Moon checks out our beach activity...

A beautiful coastline ...

And finally an end to the day.

I managed to catch this boat trying to hold the setting sun on it's rooftop!!
