Sandollars, Stingrays, and Seaturtles 7.24.09

Marine life is abundant below the sparkling surface of the turquoise waters that we love. Each day is a new quest to find something we've not encountered before. This day was no different and this morning proved to deliver. After coffee and breakfast, the kids and I went snorkeling off the back end of the boat. We immediately spotted a sting ray with a very long tail who swam in tandem with a small fish. I followed them, with kids close behind, until they lead me right to a small sea turtle! This handsome guy seemed to not care that I was in his swimming pool, and he let me get close enough to admire him. Other sea life encountered were small sea snails and another short-tailed stingray. We collected a variety of shells and sand dollars too. Score!
