Hi all.
The following pics were from my trip to the other remote base camp on silouiette.
We had a major back pack trip from one side of the island where the docks were up and over the moutain and back down the other side to where the camp was located at an old cocunut plantation.
We were there for a week performing turtle nesting surveys multiable times a day.
On the boat trip back we also had another suprize while on the boat! See below..
Thanks for looking!

Taking a last rest on the other side before heading down into base
The view from base camp back towards the moutain we hiked over.
Hawlks bill turtle just finished nesting!
Tracks in the sand a turtle this one must not have liked the site and headed back into the water
Swimming with a whale shark!!! This one was about 7-8m in length. They like to swim very clost to the surface when feeding in these waters. This one was just off the port side of the boat as we headed back from the island. The skipper Al and I quick thrown on snorkel gear and jump over the side of the boat while he circled around.
This was a amazing experience... I was really hoping to see one out here and when I hear that they were out of season this time a year was disapointed. Leave it to mother nature to give you a suprise!
