Guess what ! I have been diving!!

And me going SCUBA diving is a three way win!

1) I get exercise, as let's face it, not a chance in hell I will be getting out on land walking or running here is it?
2) I get pictures for my blog
3) Bazza does not have to listen to me whine about the maintenance for a couple hours every day...

I drove happily from East End down to West End to pick up some mail that someone had brought over for me from the USVI side yesterday, as that then meant I was away from the maintenance zone for another couple hours...Are you seeing a pattern here????

By the way, before I get into the fish pictures, I have a "friends" week coming up on the boat in july, that i thought was just about filled up, but things happen and now I have lots of room! This is not a charter week per se, but a "hang out on the boat, share expenses, and ok, we will do some fun things and dive too" July 11th to 17th. The price is less then half what I normally charge for a cabin with two people in it, even without the diving thrown in and a couple other things, so you will never get a better deal to come on this yacht. Unless of course, you are my immediate family

I am sure someone wants to come hang out with us in the islands for the week...I will even guarantee you that you do NOT have to do any maintenance! We will have a lot of fun.

Now, fish pictures. Better then maintenance I suppose!
I am getting to know this little reef out here pretty good. I understand that East End here used to be the main anchorage for Tortola way back when...Who knew?
I found Tulip shells....


And Sting Rays...


This grouper thought he was hiding and I could not see him...


Yeah, and more lobsters then I know what to do with....


But a nice Eagle Ray came swimming by!





Uh oh, I don't think this lobster made it!


More Fish pot art!


And this was Red Rock from various angles....







There were literally hundreds of heart urchins on the grass....


I brought these all up, they were dead, but I just took pictures and threw them back as they never would have cleaned up. Large cowries, unusual to see nowadays, but I am seeing a lot of them here....


This? Who knows, obviously a misfire, just thought it was kind of different...


We are supposed to be getting a lot of rain. We have been waiting and waiting. So far, just blue skies and light wind. We will take that....
