The Pink Panterra Seagoing Whales

Day 5 - Photo Gallery

 


The morning started out quiet. We had just finished breakfast 

and were deciding what the first adventure of the day would 

be when someone reported seeing a big splash. It turned out 

to be a splash from a very happy humpback whale.








It was jumping, playing and exhibiting a whole lot of tom foolery.





 


It dove...



 


fluked (shows its' tail)...








and breached.








We watched for about an hour and then it fluked and disappeared.
What an awesome way to start the day and it only got better from there.



 
 


On the return to the anchorage Vanessa ...





 



Andrew...








and Ray, try their hand at steering the ship.
We eventually made it back to the anchorage after 
many hours of being steered off course. Just kidding!

When we returned from whale watching we all had a little quiet 
time so Michelle took her book and disappeared to the bow.







Lunch was served and Ray looks on as the cooks, Paloma 
and Mily, remove the foil around a fresh cooked tuna given 
to us by our friends at the fishing village of Isla Pardito.







After lunch we launched the kayaks and the 
rest of us headed to Lela's Beach in the pangas.








We were going snorkelling. YAY!!!!!



 


After a few lessons the group headed out.








The sea was alive with the coolest of creatures. 
These three for starters!




 


We encountered Sea Cucumbers ...








An Orange-sided Trigger fish.




 


A Rainbow Wrasse in juvenile to adult transition stage.









A Tan Seastar ...








and a camouflaged Lobed Puffer fish.
It was a pretty awesome afternoon of snorkeling.






After our snorkel we headed to the cliffs for cliff jumping.



 


The group psychs themselves up!








First to jump, DJ, Ray's uncle.





 


Then Ray.








Then Andrew.






 

Finally, Miss Vanessa. The kids had guts!!
