Shark Sightings, Juno’s Barracuda, and a Sandbar Sunset



Not one but two sharks were sighted today.  The first was about 4 feet long and was sighted as we were concluding a wonderful snorkel off Little Farmer’s Cay while we were still in the water.  James tried to steer him away to give Katie more time to exit the water and in doing so, sent the shark into deeper water where Sarah was still snorkeling.  Thankfully he wasn’t too interested in us.  The second shark however, was about a huge hammerhead, about 10 feet long, spotted by Sarah from the bow while Juno was plowing through calm clear waters on the bank. Soon after dropping anchor off Cave Cay, James noticed a 2.5 foot long barracuda hanging out under Juno.  We tried feeding the fish ham and nectarine bits but they weren’t appetizing enough for his liking.  No one wanted to swim off the boat with the barracuda hanging out so we dinghied over to a sandbar with a few beers and watched the sunset surrounded by water, just off Musha Cay (supposedly owned by David Copperfield).


Matthew invited us in to see his school at Farmers Cay.
