Today the EarthWatchers, Doug and I and Diane and Charlotte took the 21’ inflatable out close to Rocky Point, which is an important feeding ground for dolphins to look for dolphins and whales. It was a little to rough in the ocean and so left Rocky Point and went to Gorda Cay, which is now a Disney cruise ship destination, Disney calls Castaways.
We snorkeled on a wreck that Diane says has been there for 20 years. It is in such shallow water and the water was so clean that looking at the wreck and fish was as if we were looking directly in the sunlight above the water. It was amazing!!
And, I saw my first Triggerfish – gorgeous! We took quite a few photos at this spot and some good ones of the Triggerfish, who seemed to be showing off. There apparently is usually a nurse-shark that sleeps here, but she wasn’t here today.
After snorkeling, we ate the packed lunch we brought and went back home – pounding most of the way. I had to stand up to keep comfortable. Doug and I were on a tight schedule and so we rinsed off; checked out of the hotel, said our goodbyes; and drove back to Marsh Harbor. We got to the rental car place just in time and also got into Harbor View Marina before they locked their doors to pick up our dinghy.
The funny thing happened when we ran into Jack (who was taking care of EcoAdventurer) – he didn’t remember us!! He had told us before that he had alzheimers – but he said he was on some miracle medicine. Anyway, first he didn’t remember us and then he said he hadn’t checked on our boat!! This was after he insisted that we let him to do…amazing. But, luckily, she was fine. We were tired so we went to Curly Tails for dinner – kind of expensive but tasty.
