So this was our day in Coco Cay.
I took the above picture as the tender boat was beginning to pull into the island. I really should have taken more pictures of the island itself. It was really nice there. But I was just rather tired after my attempts at snorkeling, but more on that later.
So this is basically how the mom spent the day. We rented her an umbrella to keep her from getting sunburned, and she relaxed and played with electronic devices.
I rented a wet suit for the rather cool water and attempted snorkeling for the first time. And it truly was just an attempt. I have decided my face must just be shaped weird, because no matter what I did water would get into the mask. The above picture shows the theoretical goal of where I kept trying to swim to. This was an unintentional picture at the end of one of the fish videos, thus why it is so small and fuzzy. On the right is one of life guard stands and on the left is a dock you could sit on. But I never made it more than about halfway to it, and I eventually just gave up.
Before going I bought a relatively cheap underwater bag for my expensive and really good camera. Now for lots and lots of money you can get specially made cases that really let you use all aspects of the camera. What I bought is basically a bag in the shape of the camera. And I was actually very pleased with the results. I took all of these as videos and then pulled the stills from them, and then photoshopped them.
Tomorrow has all the really good fish pictures, but I do like this one.
I gave up on the snorkeling after not too long, but it was long enough to give me a fairly bad sunburn on the back of my left calf. I had put on sunscreen, but I apparently missed this spot.
When we got back to the room after dinner that night on the boat, we got our first towel animal. I did like this monkey one alot.
