Instead of the usual pictures of parrotfish, damsel fish, etc, I'm putting up some of the more unusual critters you may see snorkeling around the in the Caribbean.
Mr. BG and I decided we needed a break from a series of stressful events so we dusted off our passports and put on our traveling masks & headed for the sunny Caribbean and the island of Roatan, Honduras. Flew into Miami first to pick up our rapid covid test, then on to Honduras & our island hideaway off the island for a bit more than a week. Had a day of a nasty front moving through but the weather and the water was warm. From our over the ocean bungalow, we were able to sit out & view parrotfish, needlefish & even a baby eagle ray swimming right up to our bungalow. The one day of nasty weather still meant we could open the windows & sleep to the tropical breeze & ocean waves.
First, a view of our island. Our bungalow was on the far side, facing open ocean.
A view from our bungalow of the many beautiful sunsets.
A spotted trunkfish
Lots of jellyfish but all were non stinging.
The fastest creature in the ocean is a spotted eagle ray if it sees you have a camera. One minute it's next to you & by the time you raise your camera 10 seconds later, it's 3 oceans away. This was truly a rare opportunity to catch one up close before it got away.
