It was sea turtle sex!!!!! Two really big turtles going at it in the middle of the bay. Bet not too many people have seen that.

There was a young lady named Myrtle,
Who amused herself with a sea turtle.
And what was phenomenal,
A swelling abdominal,
Revealed that the turtle was fertile.

Always cool to see! We saw lots of this "afternoon delight" while fishing - outside the bay, but I've never seen them inside the bay! Que suerte!

Same here. Never seen them mating in the bay. Usually too many wave runners and speeding boats. They're getting awfully brash and bold. ;-)

It was about 9am Thursday, dark sky, dark feeling world, with an incredibly flat ocean and no one out in the bay except us. As is so often here, the colors of the world were fabulous, and perfect for the turtles!
