Giant hermit crab. We're thinking of entering him in the Delaware County Fair. Sure to take the blue ribbon.
 
Local volcano? Just the remains of our campfire.

Another visit to the Underwater Garden:
 
Slipper lobster. We let him go after his photo op.

Playing on the flats at sunset, Shroud Cay.
 
Sailing among the mangroves. We called it a mangrove "swamp" but really the stream through it was wide and sandy-bottomed, with clear water.
 
View over Shroud Cay from Camp Driftwood. Our anchorage is somewhere near the far right edge of the land.
 
Well on Shroud:
 
Amazon at "Rose Island":
 
School of fish:
 
Exploring.
 
Sailing to Warderick Wells. I just love the shape of the mainsail.

When I was out wading in the shallows at Warderick to move the anchor, this ray swam right by me. He was about 5 feet across. Magnificent creature.
