After our turtle in-service, heading to the Tobago Cays was a must as we had been told that it was possible to swim with them in the marine park.
Twenty miles south of Bequia, a beautiful sail and calm seas, a perfect day in the Caribbean.
Upon arrival however there were many, many mega yachts, charter yachts, mini yachts, mini mega yachts, mini cruise ships and .....SPECTER!
Not really, it is the Ocean Pearl....Super Mega yacht???
The Tobago Cays are protected by a large but shallow horseshoe reef and so named, turquoise clear water that invites you to count the grains of sand.
Exposed to the trade winds from the east yet protected from the swell, even though there was a strong current Darci and I were in right away.
Doubtful about seeing any turtles with so many boats, swimming sans wetsuit was oh so nice.
The reef is very damaged from hurricanes and sea life was sparse, even the coral colorless, a not so good sign.
And yet ....we were oh so lucky....
