Seen on a Sea Doo
Cathy Bullock, of Heaven Scent Pet Sitting, caught a glimmer of color in the water during one of her recent Sea Doo rides from Halifax Harbor Marina to one of the three sand bars in Ponce Inlet, and she stopped to take a photo. This shot was taken on Inlet Harbor Sandbar, across from the Inlet Harbor Restaurant.
