Notice the high water marks.                        FYI:  the high water marks are a good 10 feet taller then I am.

Many of the stones resemble people or animals.   Do you see the figures of a kneeling person and  one bent over something in the 2 photos above ?

We left 2 or 3 minutes after I took the photo on the left.

The water never did leave the reef entirely. A good 6 - 9 inches remained.

A variety of  Sea Urchin

This is one  strange looking creature  !!    Possible pick for a horror film ?

Couldn't have made the climb without the rope... and what you see wasn't the top.
