Coco Cay, Bahamas



Sunscreen 101: This is what happens when you dont put on sunscreen - rainy day or not!!!


The fleet of jet skis


our cruise ship out in the distance, they had to ferry us in since the water was too shallow for the cruiseliner.

Coco Cay is a private island in the Bahamas that Royal Caribbean owns so that was our second stop.





We were able to go snorkeling here and ride jet skis for the first time - we each paid to get our very own one to drive - a guide took us around the island . The water was beautiful as we zoomed out to different places, the water under us was clear - and it was translucent emerald green! Gorgeous. Snorkeling was fun too, unfortunately the water was murky (this is what we get for taking a cruise in hurricane season) - the waves were pretty choppy but we had fun anyways and got quite the workout swimming around with our fins.

Now Melanie, growing up in SD you should know that you can still get burned on a cloudy day!!! It's still the same sun in the Bahamas!!
