  • And away we go!
  • Flying down to the water's edge.
  • T'was a nice sunrise.
  • Carefully paralleling the top of the cliff.<br />

I'm glad Eileen Dover wasn't with us.
  • Alright!
  • And here is the Spotlight Cave Skylight.  Beneath us is a 90-foot-deep cave with an underwater opening to the ocean.  As waves rampage against the shore, the surge shoots into the cave and makes the water in this hole dance.  On very calm days, this cave is a favorite dive site.  Anyone lucky enough to be diving here near noon on a sunny day gets to behold a beam of light extending through this hole to the bottom of the cave (thus the name Spotlight Cave).  Because the water is not totally calm, however, the beam also appears to shimmer and dance through the water column.
  • A short video of the action in the Spotlight Skylight.  Make sure your sound is on, then click on the triangle and allow it to buffer a bit.
  • More wave action at the shore.

  • After returning from Spotlight, we headed to Wing Beach, where Laurence agreed to prepare sustenance.
  • And hey, after the hike that coconut milk really hit the spot!
