 Mating Squids Good evening readers, well Aimee and I had quite the little adventure tonight! Today I went thru more old driftwood we had laying around and figured a lot of this stuff was just un-useable! So I slowly loaded it back into the car and at 4:30 we took off for Saint Joris to return what we had once collected. To get to our fun beach area on the far side of the bay over by Koral Tabak we have to drive down a one mile semi-rough dirt road. Well tonight before we even got to our destination our little car we call “Shari” broke down! I unfortunately know nothing about cars! We got out and on the ground we found four round marble sized ball bearings, not a good sign at all. Thank the good Lord for cell phones and being smart enough to put three different towing companies on my call list. So I made a call, and just like that it was taken care of. They said they would have someone come to our rescue with 30 minutes so we locked the doors and started walking back up the long dirt road with the dogs. Aimee called our buddy Matthias who dropped everything and came to our rescue as well, he took Aimee and the dogs home while I waited for the tow-truck. The truck arrived right on time, he was a super nice local guy named Michael and spoke pretty good English. On the way to the garage he told me not to worry, it’s gonna be alright and not to let it ruin your night, honestly folks this guy was one of the most positive people I have ever met and I tipped him well for it!! So we left Shari in front of our local garage we use, I will call them first thing in the morning to see what the doctor can do??
This is another photo of the same two mating squids I sent out to you a few weeks ago. I have about seven shots in this series I will eventfully get them all to you so you can kind of piece the whole event together yourself. I really have to thank my dive buddy and good friend Kenji for pointing them out to me, I may have never seen them if it wasn’t for him and his great eyes! I’m kind of known for missing a lot of the bigger reef creatures as I always seem to be so focused on the tiny things hiding on the reef and miss all the action that’s swimming over my head! A friend of mine from Bonaire sent me a photo he took this week of seven Jackknife fish together all in a little cluster, I so wish I could see such a thing!!
I worked on some more driftwood creations today and spent a lot of hours on the computer, it was another day at home. Many thanks for all the notes we both love hearing from you all! Gotta run, Barry
