Key Cay, Peter Island BVI

We had a lovely time in Key Cay.

One morning early before the sun was too high in the sky we went ashore.  We climbed the hill and had a great view.   We saw three different kinds of cacti.  Also saw evidence of goats as we hiked up the hill.  The rock formations never cease to amaze me.  

 We walked the shore and found some interesting shells.  I had forgotten the music the waves make when they retreat after whooshing over the pebbles on the shore.

We also had great experiences at night.  Shortly after dinner, while i was doing dishes, Kirk called me on deck with an urgency in his voice.  The ocean was covered in little florescent green spots. First we thought they were anemones then thought they were squid.  We have not figured it out, but we have seen them 2 nights in a row.  Kirk thinks they get pushed through the cut between Key Rock and Peter Island.  At any rate they are fun to watch and another miracle of mother nature.

We have watched the fish from the boat and after i trimmed the steak we fed them.  That is when the bigger ones come to the surface.  When Kirk was cooking his steak on the grille a rather large 4 feet at least fish kept coming by the fantail.  We tried to figure out what kind it was.  I just wanted to rule out barracuda!!!

We ended up staying in Key Cay longer than planned as Benures Bay was crowded and Customs was closed on Sunday.

Exploring on Peter Island.  Love those rocks!!

A rather large family of Cacti

Cactus growing right out of the rock.

Now go figure this one out

We liked these Cacti.  Can you tell?  This is a nice small family.

Bubbly Pool.  Much to dangerous to go in.

I was stretching and Kirk said i looked like the cactus behind me.

I was showing Kirk a shell i found and he snapped this shot.  Good part is Ainulindale is in the pic!

Coral strewn among the rocks 

This huge well maybe 4 - 5 feet at the stern of the boat while Kirk was grilling.
