February 23, 2009: Around West Bay


It was sunny and beautiful as we cruised around West Bay today.

Tom took some pictures as he explored the bayou in the dinghy and saw a fisherman pulling up oysters with a huge rake into a small boat. The device he was using looked like one we saw in a museum while we were in the Chesapeake Bay.



I worked for most of the day but did get to see three porpoises doing a little dance by the boat –

a special treat. Too bad we weren't quick enogh to get a picture. It is fun to watch the sea birds on the beach and fishing in the water.

I think the pelicans here are a cross between the white pelicans in fresh water and the brown ones. They are brown with white heads.

We are anchored tonight back in Pearl Bayou where we were a couple of days ago, and got to see another stunning sunset.
