Cayo Rosario

I was in my usual seat shouting depths while dad stood on the pulpit guiding us through reefs and mom drove the boat. I heard the engine cluck into neutral and the familiar rattle of the anchor chain flowing into the water. When I got upstairs and took a look at the surroundings, I saw that we were anchored in a sandy patch surrounded by turtle grass and coral reef. I jumped into the water with an almighty splash and found myself surrounded by fish. I swam a little until I got to one of the many reefs. The first fish I saw was a Peacock Flounder. Mom found 2 Sea Biscuits and 4 Kings Helmets around the reef. When we got back to the boat we watched the sun set with an ice cold Rum punch in our hands.
