After Mad Dogs, we went to the Baths. We toured the caves and giant rocks. We ended up in Devil's Bay and snorkeled all the way back...

They usually swim vertically in an attempt to appear like certain types of coral. Trumpetfish live in the warm waters of the western Atlantic, ranging from Florida to northern South America and from the Gulf of Mexico...
