You won't believe what happened to me yesterday! Angel Jen and I were
on the beach with a bunch of other cruisers. I had just finished
giving a knot tying seminar in which the beauty of the Turk's head
knot was shown and the miracle of the one handed bowline was
demonstrated. (Many cruisers attended and much joy was had.)
We were ambling out to the boat after collecting all our materials
when we saw another 'moving rock' in the water. A sting ray! The
dangerous sea creature that killed the crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin!
We got our cameras ready and went to investigate.
Sure enough, it was a ray but not just one. It was a mama ray and a
baby ray, too!
These big flat 'fish' actually seem to be flying through the water.
They don't wiggle side to side like a regular fish, heck they don't
even HAVE a side, they are flat. They flap their wings like a bird to
move.
So this big, giant Ray started coming for me. She flew straight for my
feet. I stood still, waiting for death. Then she got to my feet. She
took a sniff of them, turned tail and flew off.
Saved by my stinky feet! Even an evil sea creature couldn't overcome
the smell!
I'll never wash my feet again!
