While cruising along the mainland coast of Mexico, Heather Corsaro of the Monterey-based Cal 36 Eupsychia took this photo of a fleet of little rays. It kinda makes you wonder about the inspiration for the B-1 bomber. These rays are the cutest little things — unless you step on one and get barbed. Along the south shore of Banderas Bay, it’s not uncommon to see similar fleets of manta rays — but with wingspans of 10 to 15 feet.
