Hey, hey it’s me!  I was going thru pictures today and see that I forgot to send out a photo from our trip from Saba to the Sea Aquarium that we did last Thursday.  For those of you who don’t remember, Aimee and I were shuttled in a boat up the coast and dropped off and we dove about a mile back home.  This was one of the cool sponge clusters we found hanging out over an endless wall.  This is what they call Branching Vase Sponge and the orange below it is a little bit of orange lumpy encrusting sponge, it was just such a nice cluster sitting all by itself at 50 feet that I just had to take the time to photograph.  That’s Aimee high above she was pretty much responsible for finding everything “like always” I just take the pictures. 
 
I don’t have much for you this evening I just got home from a mountain bike ride and am recovering from a nice over the bars wreck I had!  I was flying up one of my trails and my bar end got hooked on a branch (that I will go cut tomorrow) and off I went rocketing to the ground ending with a big painful thud!  My elbows and knees took the brunt of the fall and I have some nice road rash but other than that I feel alright.  It’s really true what they say, the older you get, the harder you fall!  And no I didn’t cry although I wanted to!
 
Talk to you tomorrow, super windy in Curacao regards, Barry
