365 Project, Day 66
Here is my day sixty-six submission to my 365Project:
It was so calm today and perfect for observations! This was great not only for looking for marine mammals but also sea turtles and fish...and I managed to get this shot of some fish swimming near the surface off our bow.

Here`s a photo of sea turtle I also spotted this morning. We`ve been seeing a lot of them floating at the surface resting...and they`re often there so long their carapace (shell) dries out!
Fact of the day:
Sea turtles are ancient ocean dwellers that have lived on Earth for 150 million years, since before the time of dinosaurs. Now, all seven species of sea turtles are either critically endangered or threatened. The population of leather back sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) has declined 95% in the last 25 years.
