Southern Stingrays and Mantas

Watch these amazingly graceful rays. There were hundreds of them circling around the pier today. Apparently this is something that happens here every few years. Nomally at this time, it is jellyfish that we see in such numbers under the pier. Jellyfish, rays, sharks and strong currents are why you do NOT want to swim in the waters of the sound. None of us were any too pleased by the unsupervised boys who were trying to catch them so they could cut the 'wings' off and throw them back into the water to draw sharks. Bram was especially angry at them.
