Monkey Mia Part Two

So we signed up for a Wildlife Cruise and a sunset cruise. At 9.30, we boarded a nice catamaran sailing boat called the Shotover, met the most laid-back (Timmy-like) captain and crew and headed out northwest from the resort area on the 'hunt' for some whale sharks, dolphins, turtles, fish, etc to be viewed, not hunted.

We didn't have very much luck, although we did see some of the rarer animals that the crew said they hardly ever see. We saw a lemon shark, a pair of manta rays and a green sea turtle. Didn't get many good pictures as one, the boat was moving, two it was a little bit cloudy making the water appear murky, although we had great vision ourselves, and three, I was too busy looking at them to bother with the camera!

Here is one of the Manta Ray we nearly ran over with the boat. It refused to move out of the way and we were at full sail!

We did however, get some amazing photos during the sunset cruise that evening.
