STARFISH AND DRONE FUN


We are having fun here at Big Major's anchorage near Staniel Cay. We are paddle boarding, swimming and snorkeling along with using our drone.



This cool starfish I picked up while paddle boarding and brought back to the boat for some pictures. It was a heavy and big one!


This smaller, different type of starfish was found just near a beach. Someone else is holding this one while I take the photo. It's arms/legs moved fast and furious.




We snorkeled the Thunderball Grotto.... but NOT at slack tide. We found it challenging to get back to our dinghy. We rested while hanging on to a rock and this fan was below it. I took advantage to take a few cool shots of this huge purple fan. We will not go again unless it is slack tide. The tides are extra low and high and therefore they run out fast. 



While getting some produce in Staniel Cay, this plane had just arrived with a few passengers. 



This was a stormy evening a few night ago. The sky looked terrible but beautiful too. The storm never came to our boat. Whew! But some like all that fresh water to rinse off the salt.



Paul is the "navigator" of our drone. Some great shots and video. I have posted a video on previous post and on my Facebook page.





Notice all those solar panels up there! I am standing in the side doorway. It was beautiful, calm and low tide when Paul took off and landed on the flybridge. He did a great job. We got pictures of some friends' boats too.

This is a puffer fish. I saw one swimming under our swim platform yesterday, too fast to take a photo. They are real cool fish. Not for eating!
