Jeff and Emily's Bahamas Cruise
2006 pt II
COCO CAY
We woke up had breakfast and
tendered to the island about 10am.

Jeff got a braid in his hair
near the straw market before we started snorkeling.


Our ship from the island.

A tender boat heads back to the
ship. 
The "designated"
snorkel area is rather large. The reef was actually used
in a James Bond movie. There is a plane under about 10
feet of water. There is a row of cannons like from a
pirate ship. And they are also making an artificial reef
with cement wiffle balls.




The color of the coral growing
on the cannon walls and cannons themselves was so
beautiful.

Emily saw this big fish under
the and of this barrel. This is about 8-10 feet deep.

house


Below to the upper left you can
see one of the cement balls they are making for reef/fish
propigation.



The fish in the next two
pictures just hung around us for a while like he wanted his
picture taken.


After some snorkeling we had
lunch and watched a volleyball game. Emily had a blast
with her boy in the blue Speedo.

We walked around to a quieter
side of the island to enjoy some paradise. We set some
chairs right on the water and relaxed for the rest of the day
there.




Jeff did some
"undesignated" snorkeling. The water did not get remotely deep for
hundreds of yards so he found a few channels that he could
swim in. He found lots of Conch, Fish, and Sea
Slugs.






We walked the beach and found
lots of fish, crabs, a few shells and serenity.






Sea Snail

We even saw a sucker fish.

We ended the day with a hang in
the hammock and a stroll back to the boat.



As we walked back we ran into
some local chickens.



Waiting on the boat back to the
ship we watched this fish jump out of the water and over a
banana peel.



After a great day on Coco Cay we
had a wonderful dinner and walked around the ship a bit.
We saw the dueling pianos show in Bolero's Lounge. What
a great act.


We went to bed and woke up in
Canaveral. Were off the ship by 8am and back home by
11am.
It was a wonderful cruise.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We cannot wait to go
again. Disney Cruise Line hear we come.
We hope you enjoyed our cruise
pages as much as we did our cruise.
Bon voyage!
