Visitor

Normally, the turtles are very shy in this harbor.  Even if I move from the cockpit to the edge of the deck to get a better picture, they dart back down to the bottom.  Last night before dinner though, this guy didn't seem to care.  I stood right over him and took many pictures.  Here is my favorite sequence.

Look closely and you can see two fish tucked under his belly.  Their tails peek out between his back legs.  When he dives back to the bottom to feed in the conch grass, those fish move up to the top of his shell and cruise along with him.
