Western Caribbean Cruise

So we went on a cruise to the western Caribbean, ports of call were Georgetown Grand Caymans, Cozumel Mexico, and Key West Florida. Good time but don’t think I’d do it again, too trapped on the boat. We like active vacations, not just lounging around for the whole week. But here are some pictures:

Re: Western Caribbean Cruise

Thanks all! It is definitely one of the finest recreational sports out there. Every time I go out to the Caribbean, I can only think of Surah Rehman (55):

[55:19] He separates the two seas where they meet.
[55:20] A barrier is placed between them, to prevent them from transgressing.

Could the above verses be talking about the thermocline? I don't know, but sounds plausible. The thermocline is a visible barrier in the water between the warmer shallow water and the colder deep water. The greater the delta, the difference between the two temperatures, the more visible the line.

This is from wikipedia:

When scuba diving, a thermocline of a few degrees Celsius can often be seen between two bodies of water, for example a colder upwelling or current running into a surface layer of warmer water. It gives the water an appearance of the wrinkled glass that is often used to obscure bathroom windows, and is caused by the altered refractive index of the cold or warm water column; the same effect can be observed when hot air rises off the tarmac at airports or desert roads and is the cause of mirages.

[55:21] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?
[55:22] Out of both of them you get pearls and coral.
[55:23] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?

God be glorified!
