We got to the Bahamas the early the next morning. One of our activities was going swimming with the Sting Rays. This was pretty cool. They were in a secluded part of the beach which was a really nice beach area. We got to feed and hold the Stingrays. We were told we needed to grasp the squid or fish and tuck our thumbs in or it would suck hard to get the food and get our thumbs. Scott didn't hear that part and was surprised at the suction power of the Stingrays. He actually got a little cut on his thumb because he didn't tuck it in.
There were quite a few Stingrays in this area that we got to snorkle in and swim with. In the shallow end some of the locals would catch a Stingray and help us so that we could hold them. Naturally I had to try this and it was pretty cool. The time we had went way too fast, unfortunately.
