Eagle Rock and Yanggelo

We departed Wayag sailing south to Eagle Rock which is known as a habitat for the Giant Manta Rays. 

With no place to anchor Kaija jumped in for a Manta swim while I kept close vigil on her flippers and the large underwater gliders.  They are a spectacle.  They are here because of the nutrient rich waters which makes underwater photographing difficult in these murky conditions.  But Kaija got one money shot. 

We have enjoyed numerous anchorages in Raja Ampat and in particular Yanggelo. 

This is a snorkelers paradise and where Kaija found the elusive Tasseled Wobbegone, the Crocodile Flathead, a Yellow Box Fish and more importantly "Nemo" and "Dora".
