We are taking our dinghy ride through the mangroves...
the next few pictures are of our trip....
Oh my goodness....
It is so beautiful....there are no words!
Bob is trying to get some video of a fish in the water with his GoPro
We get home to look at it....and he has video of himself...he pushed the
wrong button !!
This is the only area we saw the pink shells....
Bob is ready for no UV's today!
Me swimming before Bob had to come and rescue me from the
current!
We are not very good at doing selfie shots...still trying!

Another
beautiful day in the Bahamas!
Today
we did the mangrove loop. So many
people kept telling us how beautiful it was and how we had to do it. So Bob and I jumped in the dinghy and took
off to check it out. While doing the
mangroves I was a little disappointed.
Everyone kept saying how beautiful it was but I just wasn’t seeing
it. Yes, the mangroves were nice but not
as nice as everyone was saying about it, until we got to the end of it….whoa!
It was amazing! Hopefully some of the
pictures did it justice; the beauty around here is just so amazing. I feel like I’m in one of those vacation
magazines that we are always looking at and hoping one day just to get a
glimpse of it….
I
will say one thing, the current there was wicked! I got caught up in it three times. It wouldn’t be so bad but the current is so
strong it keeps trying to push you into the limestone rocks! Once it tried to take me out into the sea but
I knew there was a sandbar there so I wasn’t worried about it. Actually, I wasn’t worried about any of
them. The first time I was trying to
swim against the current to get back to the other side where our dinghy
was. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to
do it but it was great exercise! The other time I was right next to Bob and he
just grabbed me to keep me from hitting the rocks, and the third time I was
just playing in the sand and went too far towards the middle and it tried to
take me again! The current was only bad
in one location….it was just fun to play in it!
Of course “Safety Bob” stayed away from it and never got caught up in
it!
After
spending most of the day out there we came back to the boat. We were playing
around with the GoPro camera and got some pretty good video under water. There’s not a lot of fish around here to see
but if there were….the GoPro is the way to go!
Bob did snorkel under the boat to check on the anchor (we are supposed
to be getting some high winds the next 3 to 4 days and he just wanted to make
sure all was good) and while under there he came across a baby shark! He has some real good video of that. Hopefully I will be able to get it on the
blog!
Jen
and Moe I got your text. We are in such
a desolate area right now there is no cell or internet service. I don’t think we will get any service until
we get to Staniel Cay and that’s not happening until around the 27th
of this month. Yikes!
