At the Hotel




We went snorkeling at our hotel beach the other day. We are staying at the Hilton while here in Nassau. It is next to the port. There is no reef just a sandy bottom. In a few sections there is a grassy bottom and that brings fish. It is cool to see them feed along the bottom. It was interesting because we kept seeing a jet stream looking trail come out of fish. At first I thought that they were hitting the sand but it was always over the grass. Then it happened so frequently that we really started to pay attention and sure enough it was a spray of some kind that the fish emit. If you know what it is leave a comment with an explanation.




We also got into a school of small jelly fish, not too exciting just get out of there. We found a little alcove and tucked under was a lion fish. It was cool to see. We did not have the camera figured out yet so we did not get a picture of that. It is amazing to me to think that so much of the earth is covered with ocean and there is such a vast and beautiful world under the surface of the ocean and yet we really don't pay much attention to it. Well with this new camera I will be bringing some of what is under there to you. Thanks again for the camera.


Remember See the rest of the world, go snorkel.
