Today at Cholla Bay we went out to the mud flats, and came across this beautiful octopus. Little one was chillin for awhile until someone dropped it and it shot out some ink. But besides that, there were also some other octupi "occupying" in the clam shells that they get into while the low tides are taken place. We also found snail egg sack looking things that look almost like a cylinder all over the mud and also saw a Jaw fish carrying her eggs in her mouth. What an adventure we have had!

The sea was rather calm as if it knew we were arriving. Mother earth was happy, and let us use her calm tone of weather to travel her beautiful ocean. The journey was set in to what we call it "Bird Island". It took us 2 and a half hours to get to our destination, but before we got to our destination, you can see from afar 3 white looking pyramid rocks. That's when we knew that we were getting closer to the island. Rather than being super excited... Some of the sea team were getting rather viciously hungry and tired from the longest journey. A handsome man came around passin...

Monday May 20th  Today we visited an awesome salt mine!  Daniel, owner of salt mine, told us the process in which the salt is collected, cleaned, and preserved for the marketplace. There is salt all around and within the plastic tarp, this to property collect and clean the salt. HUGE thank you to Aaron for traslating for the group. It was a great day!
