Shark Pit

On the hiking trail again, we decided to pursue something with a more horizontal path. Unlike our last hike at 1000 Steps, however, this one required some "wading" skills. Low tide and cool waters actually made for a very refreshing trail and made me wish for even more water obstacles! The endpoint of the trail was the so-called "Shark Pit" which is an underwater drop-off in the midst of a reef, allegedly a place where sharks were once encountered. Along the way, we came across some intriguing critters who were chosen to exhibit to Max the wonder of God's creative power.
