Wednesday - May 16

We woke to find ourselves at Marilyn's Cut where we did two dives. It was a great site with lots of marine life everywhere. The top of the wall was a flat tabletop with lots of soft corals. In between some of them we found a nurse shark resting. It moved when we approached, but we followed it to it's next resting location and moved in very slowly to take some great closeups.

At one point we saw two cowfish rising to the surface while poking at each other. Afterwards we showed the video to the captain and he said that they were mating. Our second dive was at the same spot.

In the afternoon we did one dive at 3 Fathom Wall, then one dive at Randy's Gazebo. Both were excellent. After dinner we began our 8 hour sail back to Grand Cayman since some rougher weather was predicted for the next day.
