Tobago Cays -- Turtles

The wind picked up last night and even though the reefs kind of protect the anchorage from the waves it still was a little bit choppy. A lot of the other boats left, so now there are only 10 boats in the anchorage here. As the afternoon wore on the wind died down a little and the sea calmed down so we lowered the dinghy and went over to the beach. They have the area roped off so that boats don't anchor in the grass where the turtles feed. We snorkeled for an hour and were amazed at how close the turtles would let you get. They must be used to snorkelers by now because they basically ignored us while they munched on the grassy bottom.

We are still eating the mahi that Kevin caught off the coast of the Dominican Republic. We froze a bunch of filets and I think we are down to the last couple. Kevin is firing up the grill as I type. Yum.
