Junk Boat Trip 2012

 Our friend Kale, Ammon, Caleb and Haleigh

heading out to catch the junk boat we rented

for the day.

 Our junk

 Loading the boat

 ALL of the kids, including the 3 grown

ones on the dock, were excited for the

journey to get under way.

 My 3 sailors

 We put in anchor at Lama Island

to enjoy the water.  Here the kids

are getting ready to jump off the

top of the junk.  They were waiting
for an adult to go first.
I snapped this picture and ran and jumped in!
Let the FUN begin!!

We thought it very strange that we were the only private

boat out on the water on a Holiday.

When we returned to Discovery Bay we learned

of the "NO SWIM" warning for Lama Island

because of SHARK INFESTED WATERS!!

The day prior to our excursion, a group

out on their junk encountered a 12 foot shark.

THANK GOODNESS it was a 

Whale Shark which has no teeth

and only eats algae -- AND

THANK GOODNESS we did NOT see it!

The poor thing would have died from a heart attack

from all the SCREAMING.

FUN day that turned in to a CRAZY story!!
