what's in the water to the upper right at 3mins?

How the heck did it get out there? Can they swim that far or do you think something carried it there?

I was just inside the reef so it was close to four miles from land. Most likely it would have died out there as the current that far out would most likely push it East with very little chance of coming back inshore.[/QUOTE]
