 blackbar-soldierfish-under-a-giant-sea-fan Good evening boys and girls, how was your much deserved weekend?? I had a busy day as usual starting with a three hour hike. I ended up taking on more distance than I should have this morning, what looked like a quarter of a mile turned out to be a mile and so on and so forth. We started at the usual place at Saint Joris and headed to the inlet of the bay where the ocean meets the island. When we got there I figured why not head towards Canoa now along the coast until we get to the first beach, well that took forever! When we got there the dogs raced to the water and just stood there cooling off as I looked back were we had just come from thinking this was not a good idea. After giving the dogs half of the water we again headed out into the desert this time going a different way back, I figured it would take about the same time to back-track as it would to do a loop around the mountain. Well to make a long story short, I won’t do that walk again, about a quarter of the way back I gave the dogs the rest of the water and kind of just wondered what possessed me to do this today? We got back to the car over three hours later, the dogs raced to the ocean to cool off and I raced to the water that was in the car, that’s a long walk carrying all that camera gear, tripod and water! The good side to that walk was that the dogs slept the rest of the day.
After resting for awhile I assembled the underwater camera and took off to the Sea Aquarium for another dive. The dive was wonderful! Again the visibility was super clear and there were schools and schools of fish, it’s like swimming in a big aquarium. I am still searching our reef for different and unusual sponges, never realized just how many different kinds there are until you really open your eyes and look, it was really fun. I looked for the seahorse on the way back but didn’t see him, boy do they ever blend in!
Your photo was taken on my way out today near the exit. This is our big Sea Fan we have at the edge of our reef with four unafraid Blackbar Soldierfish. I have used this sea fan for so many pictures over the years, including with the mini-sub and countless models, it just sits there swaying back and forth all day.
That’s about it, talk to you tomorrow, Barry
