More photos from the Engineering Island trip

We had a relatively heavy rain around 6 am on Sunday morning, but it had stopped by the time we left the dock, and eventually the sun came out.

After meandering through the hospital, Stefan took us to south beach.

The return trip across the sand flats was nice with lots of things to see in the water. We saw clams, puffer fish, baby blacktop sharks, and black sea cucumbers.
