Spoke too soon yesterday...

About us having blue skies and the sun being out..It started out nice (this is looking down at Smugglers Cove from Belmont Estates)

But before I left the West End it started pouring and that was just about all it did for the rest of the day then. On every end of the island....

I know it is going to stop some day...I went out in the afternoon to Beef Bluff again for a dive, trying out a lens I have not used for a long time. My macro. Apparently I have totally forgotten how as these are the best "mood" pictures I took, as I got nothing else!

I did have a gigantic Nurse Shark I could see coming at me across the reef, and they are pretty skittish so I kept on waiting for him to veer away. He didn't. He kept on coming right at me. I started flashing my strobes at him and literally, he did not notice me until he was 6 inches from my camera. I was just getting ready to hit him with it! Then he saw me and quickly turned...Good thing he was only a Nurse Shark as I might have had a heart attack otherwise!

Kerry: If this comment reaches you, I just want to let you know that I enjoy your blog and your comments. We have had a boat in the BVI for 16 years (on and off) and go most of the same places you do, but only for a couple of months so I live vicariously during the off times.

But, I specifically wanted to thank you for the link to MyFitnessPal.com. It is a wonderful web site and a really good motivator, and I have been tracking my eating and exercise habits for about a week, and have lost a bit of weight. Thanks for the inadvertent help.

We also have a small winter condo in Palm Springs, and enjoy it. So I hope you get back to Temecula and enjoy your home there. Best wishes, Nancy

Great! Look for me on My fitness pal, user name is Puppette as I could use some friends to help motivate me on there...My sister is not checking in there enough!!

We are returning to Temecula on July 17th, and yep, it will be nice to get back off the rock for awhile. We have decided that half and half splitting our time is about right. Not being here 12 months out of the year any more.
Glad you enjoy my blog. I like hearing that
