Boating with dolphins. Like dances with wolves, but wetter.

What the bottom of a mangrove tree looks like when it's been ripped up after a storm.

The whole area has channel markers so boaters can follow the deep channels, and don't go aground. And as usual, the more opportunistic avians such as pelicans take advantage of them by using them as nesting sites, or as dinner tables. I think this might be an osprey, but I'm not sure. It had just caught a fish, and was munching away on it. We managed to get up quite close, probably because it wasn't about to leave its dinner.
