A Way A Birthday Should Be

Well I turned a young 38 on Sunday. The day was rung in Saturday late night over too many beers, a BBQ at the Bora Bora Yacht Club and cards. We then took a convoy of dinghies around to the east side of the island to find the elusive manta rays. We had the tides right and manta rays were in feeding, one with about an 8 foot wing span. We then came back to the west side of the island and went out the pass into the ocean to look for sharks. One of the guys with us speared a puffer fish to chum with. We were rewarded with 5 very large bull sharks and 14 smaller black tip reef sharks. Though none of them ate the puffer, we wonder.... do they know it is poisonous as well??

Back to the boat for rest, cake and some reading on my birthday gift, a Kindle.
