Mom, lounging around


Need I say more?


The setting is a trimaran... our first paid trip out to Buck Island.  (I highly recommend Captain Carl on the Teroro II.)

Mom & The Rooster


People are fascinated by the wildlife running around... like this rooster strutting through the pub where we had lunch.  Mom wanted me to get pics with her and the rooster.  :-)





Mom Feeds Fish


The Christian Brew Pub is right on the boardwalk, and the big fish right there love to eat the buffalo wing bones.  Weird, I know... and maybe not good for them, but they look fairly big and robust!  Anyway, here's Mom joining in the fun.





So here's a little video of it.


As you can see, the fish splash in the water to snap it up.



Here's a decent video just showing the fish.  Enjoy!

Blob




Can you guess what this is?  It's in some shallow water.  You get points even if you can tell after watching the videos.

It looks like a cow patty, or maybe some underwater plant.



In the first video, I pull back because it shot some water at me, which freaked me out a bit.



In the second video, it reached out and latched onto my toe with a sticky tentacle, which freaked me out again.

It's a little octopus.  Cool, huh?  It's legs are curled underneath its body, and you might be able to make out its head.  We never saw it fully extended: at one point we saw it move by pushing itself with one tentacle.

Did I mention we saw this on a scout camp?  Wild.
