Stingrays!!


I got blog duty today for some reason…so here is how my vacation on Caye Caulker started.
Rex filled you on in our arrival in Belize and the water taxi ride to Caye Caulker.  What he didn’t mention is that as I was disembarking from the water taxi, I twisted my  foot.  Twisting my ankle would make more sense, but my ankle is fine, it’s  my foot that is screwed up.

Tuesday night my foot was so swollen and sore that I honestly felt I would be in a doctors office Wed. morning.  I could put NO weight on it.  So on our first night I laid on the couch with my foot elevated.  Now that really sucked!!

The long and short of this, is that my foot has got better each day.  I’ve  gone from using a cane to going without and being able to do most everything I want to.

Anyway today’s adventure included stingrays up close and personal.

Rex had been reading about a boat owner named Rass Creek, that we could hire for a cruise around the island.

I don’t know about you but I am  thinking about Gilligan and a “three hour cruise”.

Rex enjoys a shot from “The Captain”.  He is really liking that “island atmosphere “.

Rex is getting ready to see “the rays'”!

A good thing because our captain has a personal favorite that he wants to introduce to him.

The introduction……

The handoff…..ready or not!!
That was definitely the highlight of the cruise, but not everything Rass had on the agenda.

Rass is throwing sardines into the water which is,

causing this feeding frenzy by a lot of fish called tarpon.

The last “treasure from  the sea“, of the day was this male seahorse.  Endangered but still  hanging on in Belize.

That pretty much covered our day, and then we got to go home and make fresh red snapper for supper.
This island ROCKS!!
