Jane- Can you PM me your email so I can send you the pics. I can't figure out how to insert them. Can you do it??

 

[Bbarnes]

OK. I still can't figure out how to upload the pictures from my disk but I did manage to upload four images to my "gallery". One other note... There are really 2 major theories about why a creature this large would jump into a boat. The first one Jane mentioned, that it was trying to catch some fish. The other theory our dive master, Gabriel. and many of the other locals proposed was that it was not trying to catch something but rather trying not to be caught. I am not sure that I want to unknowingly be swimming with something that can cause a 400+ lb ray to jump out of the water like that!!!!

Looking at the pics thats a big eagle ray but I would say 400+ is a large over estimation. From the size probably half that is more accurate for weight.

Those are two crazy stories about the ray and the dolphins/whale sharks.

That's so sad about the ray though. I wouldn't have been able to bear it dying on the boat like that. :crying2:
