...and Gannets soaring in the lee side of the ship, about 10 feet from our balcony.

A little later, the gannets were hunting the flying fish!

dolphins, those flying fish off of Puerto Rico, I saw a big Marlin jump off of Tortola, and when we were in the middle of the passage between Grand Cayman and Roaton once, there was a 20 foot sailboat about a haf mile away, crazy, must have been 200 miles from land.

We've seen the flying fish, I love watching them! Only seen dolphins twice.

 

We saw a huge turtle when we were docked at Grand Turk once, and in Cozumel we saw a big jellyfish from our balcony.

 

Also in Grand Turk we saw these long, needle nosed looking fish. Don't know what they were though.

 

For non-marine life, we've seen plenty of birds including pelicans diving in the water for fish.
