Great Harbour, Peter Island
We Had one of those lumpy lumpy lumpy days...which basically means the seas were up and we seemed to be going into them all day long!
The group enjoyed their swim and then we were off hugging the side of Tortola to get up to Roadtown to do a couple things. After lunch we seems to be pounding into it again to get over to Salt Island where some went looking for sea glass and some swam... and then we made our way down to Great Harbor with every other boat around it seems. The group had an afternoon swim, and I took the opportunity to get in and take pictures.
Unfortunately, that was about the best I had of the swimmers, the water was too murky and i was too deep, so I took off for the shallows and found a nice anemone...
And a really nice queen angelfish...
This barracuda kept on coming right up to me which allowed me to get some really nice pictures of him...
Assorted coral and silversides...
About that time in the shallows I saw a swimmer come by and I thought it was one of ours, so I was snapping pictures left and right only to realize that none of our swimmers had a red speedo! I have a lot of pictures of unknown red speedo guy now if you would like some!
More corals in the shallows...
Promenade just on sunset...
Did see a great big large spotted eagle ray, but by the time I was focused he was too far so the picture was a dud...
Tons of tarpon playing among all the silversides though!
Made it back to the boat about the same time as the swimmers, so while I made dinner Bazza led them in a rousing game of shots...
We were actually fairly nice to them with having water and wine in the glasses a lot, but some still managed to get our signature shots!
Steak dinner tonight and now a quick upload of pictures and it is bed time!
Don't forget to look at Swim Vacations Blog this week, they have many more good pictures of the swimmers!
