SEA TURTLE IN THE STREAM
Despite the long duration and expense of getting to and from the northeast canyons, it is days like this that keep bringing you back. You never know what you will cross paths with once out in the abyss.
The wind and current clump together Sargassum weed into patches thus creating shelter for juvenile fish, reptiles and crustaceans from predators. Once spotted you only know how much life it is holding by taking a look from underneath.
At first glance not much was seen other than some juvenile jack fish swimming below the surface. Until I spotted something nestled in the underwater forest of Sargassum weed just below the surface. Upon approaching I thought it was deceased but once I snapped a few images it woke. Spooked at the sight of me the sea turtle swam off into the blue expanse.
