 Elkhorn Coral Reef Scene Good evening readers, as I type Aimee must be landing in New Mexico after a very long day of travel. We got up at 5:00 this morning and had her to the airport and checked in by just a little after 6:00, it was sad to see her go but I know she’s going to have a great time! I went straight home and grabbed the dogs and took them for their morning walk thru the Curacao desert. Our island has actually greened up again a bit after that last hard rain a few days ago and the trails are in perfect shape for riding. After our morning hike I rushed home and got my dive gear together and met our friend Dirk at the aquarium for a dive. Many of you remember me talking about Dirk, he’s one of the leading experts on Elkhorn corals and has done so much to help save these endangered corals. We had a nice dive, the water was pretty clear, fish everywhere and just a slight current. This is one of the hundreds of Elkhorn coral shots I took today. All of the clusters of Elkhorn’s were home to countless schools of fish today, it was really quite the sight and for once I had the right lens!! I did not see the spotted eagle ray but I did find a big flying gurnard swimming around the reef, I thought boy your sure are lost! After about 30 minutes Dirk signaled me and went back in, I continued to hang out here in this shallow water watching all the activity and found a big school of squids to play with, it was just such a great dive!
I spent the rest of the day cleaning gear, going shopping and working on the computer and at 5:30 took the dogs for another walk. Sorry so short but that’s about it, have a wonderful evening and a great day tomorrow, bye now, Barry
