Day 8 - Snorkeling in shark ray alley.




Today is another glorious day in the Caribbean. This morning Kerry and Roger took a long walk down the beach while the rest of the team slept. They do a lot of that. It probably has something to with booze consumption.

We all just got back from a 2 hour adventure out to the reef where Kerry scuba dived while the rest of us snorkeled. I have snorkeled in Cancun, Ixtapa and Varadero and have never seen anything that comes close to what we seen today! The first stop was on a reef inside a protected area with barracuda, eels, tarpon and countless varieties of colorful tropical fish. The second area was named shark ray alley and more then lived up to its name. One of the guides held a nurse shark in his arms for the rest of us to touch. There were several rays swimming in the area also. I was given a piece of chum which had the fish eating out of my hand...very neat experience. Jen had the only underwater camera so no pictures to post at this time.

Kerry is going to have the doctor look at his foot again to decide if he will ride back to Cancun, Mexico. It's almost 400 kilometers through the jungle so he wants to be sure that his foot can take it.

Looks like you guys are having a great time Roger. Big wind storm back here last night. Canucks win against the Pens 3-1, Luongo down and out with a leg injury early in the first. Hope Kerrys okay for the ride back. Kirk
