Yesterday afternoon we visited the Bimini Biological Field Station aka Shark Lab. A couple days ago while on the boat we watched a show on Discovery Channel about "The Whale that Ate a Shark". Much of the research for this show was done at a lab in South Bimini. Terry bumped into several of the young people that work there. He asked them if we could come tour their facility. They said yes and it was amazing . . .
We thought it would be fun and educational for McKenna. Who would have thought that we all learned so much and had an incredible time!

Our time at the Bimini Shark Lab was truly amazing.
A special thanks to Jill (from England - whose parents just immigrated to Canada) and Jim (who got his Marine Biology degree from Coastal Carolina in Myrtle Beach, SC!!)
Just for fun - thought I would include this picture of a starfish we also saw today. It was huge (as you can tell by Terry's foot being next to it)
