Wow !!! So we just arrived home late last night from 8 days in Grand Cayman. My wife, God Bless her, planned yet another amazing vacation for us. We had our own condo on the quiet north end of Seven Mile Beach. The snorkeling out our patio door was AMAZING. Starting just a block out from shore, squid, octopus, shark, barracuda, stingrays, sea turtles, fish, fish, fish, corals coral corals. And I’m sorry to say even a stray jelly fish which my wife had an abrupt run in with. Left three rings of little blisters around her arm. And made her whole arm feel prickly for an hour.
Wednesday morning while snorkeling I found and eel that had a face like a dragon moray but looked liked it was covered in gold glitter. So that night I went out and bought two cheap underwater disposable cameras to try and capture some of this amazing sea life.
Thursday evening around 5pm I’m out by myself two or three blocks off shore when I come across this common grey stingray that are everywhere in Grand Cayman. I followed it for about a 100 yards down the coast line took several pictures with my cheap camera here’s one.
After those 100 yards I decide to turn around and head back to where I started when I run across this eagle ray.
After quite a while I decide to work my way back up to shore when I came across this nurse shark hunting something under a piece of coral rubble. It moved a heavy piece of rubble about 18” round with no trouble and ripped apart what was under it. It is a crummy picture I’m amazed at how well it blended in to the bottom.
I enhanced it here to get a better idea of shape.
After watching that unfold for what seemed like a life time I realized I was alone a good distance from shore with a shark. Further I could feed him and his entire extended family with my tired old fat ***** so We exchange looks and I moved on.>>>>>
As I was headed into shore to tell my fish tales to the girls I came up on a sea turtle and swam with it for a while. At this point my life seemed surreal and I finished my swim into shore and began telling my stories which were only stories until this morning when I ran to target and got my crummy cameras developed.
