A gaze from the top of my newly rigged mast. I was hoisted by the main halyard to put on the last piece, the backstay, while my jib halyard acted as the temporary backstay. My hands were a little shaky at the top, as I carefully extracted my phone from my tool pouch and muttered “don’t drop your phone, don’t drop your phone. Needless to say, my phone and I made it down safely and the sunset was worth it.
Flapping fins at the surface might be mistaken as shark fins, but these creatures just so happen to be a group of procreating spotted eagle rays. Spotted eagle rays are dark with white spots along their backside and have a unique snout shaped similarly to a duck’s bill. If a male succeeded, then mama will give a live birth to 1-4 pups about this time next year!
This group of divers help keep their oceans clean and healthy! How do you help your local community?
Taking one last breath, I prepare to cross the boundary of air and water, leaving one world for another.
