ride in the estuary...unexpected companions!

This is a picture I took while riding on the estuary tonight... the tide was in, but i know Jester is ok in water so I rode him in towards the island, it was about 2m deep I guess, the shadow in the middle of the picture is a RAY! 3 passed me, I turned Jester around and rode in the opposite direction back to shore!!

they were about 1m away from his legs at one point, I was so shocked as its the first time I have seen any fish when riding in the estuary.

but I guess with the calm day and sunny weather the Rays were on a scenic tour of the neighbourhood LOL.
