exuma's.

yesterday we got out to saddleback cay on steven's "island world" adventure. getting on the boat and shooting off into the ocean we were leary of dark clouds daunting the distance.. the water quickly turned from the most beautiful vibrant blue to a dark mercury.. fortunately it was not too long afterwards we had passed under the clouds.. the sky opened, and we were cutting over sparkly water with an almost radioactive electric blue patch across the horizon.

on arrival, we followed wooden bridged pathways to several lookout points.. the bar.. eating areas.. and finally, the beach. the water was like glass. i was swimming along when i noticed a black shadow gliding towards me.. it was getting close and i was getting nervous, when i realised this shadow was a gigantic manta ray.. curious, i guess. it glided away as quickly as it had come.

we got to feed sharks. finally, i got to see the epic "fin out of water".. amazing watching them move. one had to be almost nine feet long.. we did some snorkelling.. (far from the feeding grounds..) we went to jurassic park.. or so it will be in twenty years time when our pollution will eventually turn the 400+ iguanas that live there into mutant dinosaurs.. we walked along a sand bar in the middle of the ocean that had tides lapping up at our ankles from both sides..

all in all, our full day on the water was magic. couldn't have completed our bahamian excursion any other way. in a few hours time, ang and i are heading to the airport. until next time..
