Hitching a ride

Sometimes little visitors hitch a ride on the boat.  Wednesday, we were heading from Rochester to Oak Orchard, when I captured these little guys using the 'microscope' setting on my camera.  It's great for taking really close up shots.  

We only sailed for about an hour before the wind petered out and what was there, was right on the nose. I couldn't capture a shot of the butterfly following us for several minutes (and passing us) as we motored into the wind at six knots.  Those little creatures are amazing!
