First of all, isn't this THE best photo of Ed??! I think it completely captures his "essence" - so in his element with the blue sea and sailboat in the background. So handsome!
After Marina Cay, Tortola, we headed across the Sir Francis Drake Channel to Cooper Island - just about a one hour motor job! We were almost going to blow off Cooper, but when we got there, we were once again awestruck at how beautiful it was - palm trees lining the beach and beautiful water. Even though every island has the same physical properties - palm trees, blue water, blue sky, green hills, fish - each has it's own unique and distinct flavor and feeling.
I immediately hopped in the water to snorkel - and was bummed that I didn't bring my underwater camera - because I saw the coolest Coral - - it was HUGE - the size of a coffee table - big and round and spreadout, somewhat flat with a circumference of probably 5 feet. It was red. I don't even know what it was - but it was spectacular.
Also saw what I think is a Moray Eel - after looking at pictures of them. It was a big and brown/black spotted thing, hunkered down at the bottom, kind of hovering over a white sea urchin type of thing.
Had a fantastic, yet expensive dinner at Cooper Island Beach Club - but it was probably the best meal we've had all winter! Ed had the Tuna and I had a scrumptious steak.
Stayed for a few nights - and towards the end, the wind was really honking and the anchorage was lumpy, but survivable. You probably only only need one or two nights there - the snorkeling is fantastic and the atmosphere relaxed and fun..
