Returning from diving out on the reef, we pass the rock where I had spotted the Black Naped Tern. Check out previous post:

Ben sees that there are two chicks on the rock. A family of Black Naped Terns just in front of my house!

Later that evening, when Kevin, old friend who is staying, comes back from the university, we go back out with the big lens.

We motor very slowly past the rock with Ben at the helm. The parents are feeding their young and appear unconcerned by our presence.

Best picture ever taken of a Black Naped Tern . Click on these photos to get hi-res versions

Or maybe this is.

We then head out into the sunset, drink  cold beer and sail around the bay.

I like being on vacation.
