Feed the fish, tuppence a bag...

Today was super busy.  We went out in the Hobie Cat, but the camera did a weird fogging thing that made the pictures look like we were dreaming.  Anyways, we won't post them for now since we got some great pictures on our excursion.

The "captain" picked us up at 1 pm and we set sail for a coral garden.  We didn't really set sail as it was a boat with a motor, but what ever floats your boat.  It was fun and full of fish, and not just any fish, but full of the "STALKER" fish!!! 0.o  Still, this only ranks 3rd on the best-thing-we-did-today scale; we can just call this the BTWDT scale (pronounced be-twid-it, and soon this will probably become the BTWDoV scale ("oV" being "on Vacation" (pronounced be-twid-ov))).

The "captain" gave us food to lure the fish with, but I had a small crisis of conscience when he told us it was tuna.  Victoria soon realized she was not a fish, and was not going to be eating the tuna (though she did eat some tuna earlier on vacation, but she still wasn't a fish then, so it was okay), so it was okay to feed one type of fish to the others. Fish eating fish = cannibalism. In your face.  What else can they eat?  it's not like they are above water and can eat things that don't swim in the ocean.  In your eye.


At first there were only a few fish eating the tuna, but that didn't last long
Then more came (notice how many "stalker" fish there are now)
And more came...
And more...
And even more...
It didn't stop till we were lifted out of the ocean by piles and piles of fish. 
Then we ran out of tuna so they didn't care for us any more.  so they all left.
And we were on our way to the next stop of our excursion.
