Good morning all, still no internet at home so we are unable to send out any daily e-mails.  We will try again on Monday to get someone out to help from UTS but I think that is being unrealistic.

Yesterday was another very hot day here in Curacao, I think our summer heat has finally arrived!  I did one reef dive with the sub yesterday but had a hard time as the current was running fast!  There was coral spawning last night but I did not go, maybe tonight, I went for a nice bike ride instead.

This is a small school of Goatfish I found yesterday all having breakfast together. I finally got a shot of their Barbels as they were searching for food in the sea-weed. Much of their day is spent digging in the sand, they use two fleshy whiskers called “barbels,” located under the tip of their chin, to search for prey hiding in the sand.  These fish are Carnivores, they feed on shrimp, crabs, bottom-dwelling invertebrates, clams, and clam worms.

That’s it, sorry again for the brief mail, I just have so much to do today before I leave for the States.  Talk to you tomorrow, Barry
