Looks like a big jube jube doesn't it?
Well let me set the record straight for you, When I met this nice "little" creature that you are looking at now, I was snorkeling at "Paradise Point" in Antigua....That is right "Paradise"
There was nothing paradise about it! I have been to this reef before and never met these unfriendlies...but alas today was not to be the case.
When I got into the water, I could not see for the jellies about, and look at it, it is the size of a dinner plate!
So I did the best that I could to swim around them, and very successfully I might add.....Until ..... Did you know that if one of these "gentle" "graceful" creatures just grazes your body it feels like you have been picked up and hurled into a Cactus......
Oh baby did it burn!!! And as I scramble back onto the boat, the men aboard have a jug of a nice yellow liquid...those of you who know about the "jelly fish cure" probably know my horror when they opened said jug and poured the liquid down my leg......you would not know my joy amidst such discomfort to be met with the smell of vinegar.....
The pain only lasted about 30 mins....and then life went on. I now have a healthy respect for these lovely creatures!
Bring on the Stingrays... at least they are soft!
