We saved our favorite snorkel for our last snorkel of the trip. Waterlemon Cay is our favorite because of the diverse corals and the abundance of life we see there. THe hike along the bay is nice too!

It's always an early start for this one We want to be there before it gets too crowded. That means we left the villa at 8 and were in the water about an hour later. There is a swim to get into the protected area and today we battled some wind and current to get there. Right away we saw a small stingray gliding along the bottom. We decided to tackle the more challenging windward side first. There was good activity and the visibility was pretty good. As we got out to the tip of the cay, the corals were more abundant and we ran across a school of tarpon. Pretty impressive fish.

Rounding to the leeward side, we saw a porcupine fish and swam through lots of tiny jellyfish. We made our way down the side and Kirsten found a spotted moray - very cool. We rested for a few minutes on the small beach and resolved to look away from the cay. We found lots of sea stars and saw another stingray.

The afternoon was routine and we finished with a swim at Hawkesnest. We think there was a nurse shark in the area but we were enthralled with the pelicans hurtling themselves into the water for fish.

Dinner: Margarita Phil's
