Livin' it up in Okinawa

Friday, June 23, 2006



Last week we explored Turtle Cove on the south side of the lagoon. Unfortunately we only saw one turtle. It was fairly good sized maybe a 2 foot long shell. I think it was a hawksbill. The coolest thing we found was a family of stingrays swiming a foot off the beach and they were cruising along parallel to the shore not minding us only a few feet away.

I haven't been able to figuer out what kind of rays these are.....If anyone has an idea please put it in the comments.

It's about time you posted something to our blog. I don't think that link is the right ray species. The ones we saw were orange and their tails are different.
