Epic trip to Hoffman's Cay and Little Harbour

Yesterday we rented a Boston Whaler with the Texans (see previous posts) and spent the day exploring small cays.

I didn't bring a camera, so I'll post Sandra's excellent pics.  We swam in the Blue Hole on Hoffman's Cay. 

 

We'd never seen anything like it! John jumped from this high ledge 15 feet above the water.  I jumped from a lower rock to avoid any "swimsuit malfunctions".  The water had a high salt content, which made us float almost on top of the water, and was so deep we couldn't see the bottom.

 



Then we went snorkeling near Devil's Cay

We saw a giant turtle, a couple of sharks, a sting ray, and lots of conch shells.  John caught a small fish from the boat and kept it on the line as bait.  A giant shark took the fish, the lure, and the line weight!

When we got back to the marina, Olive came over and spied on us through the hatches.
