  11. Wonderful view. A ‘wish I were there’ shot 🙂

  12. Have you seen Mavee this year?

  13. Yeah, underwater is is much more like flying – for the turtles and the rays.

    When Deepflight built a sub that flies like a plane, rather than bobbing like a blimp, the sealife interacted very differently. On an early test dive, the inventor found himself dancing with a curious eagle ray…. Moving like they do might be a signal of kinship… and may help express universal gestures for play…

    And saw a similar pattern spinning with the spinner dolphins…

    Alieness: I think so. I looked at the usual place, but the lava surfer may have been swimming. Saw 10 at one time. The dudes were just chillin’

    Thanks LA Lassie!
