Star Coral Mound

Good evening friends, first off I wanted to say I am having a few problems with my www.coralreefphotos.com site as many of you have so faithfully pointed out but should have those little glitches fixed soon.  Also since I am on the subject if you do not get your daily e-mail from me just go to the site, you can read the same thing there and maybe see a few you missed as well. 
 
This is a beautiful mound of Mountainous Star Coral that we found again on our dive to the famous Mushroom Forest.  That’s Aimee at the top of the mountain with Eva in the background exploring.  This area is really know for these formations as well as Whatamulla, those are the two best spots to see these in person. 
 
Aimee and I just got home from doing a mountain bike ride together!!  This is a big deal guys we never ride together anymore!!  Tonight we did one big loop on the trails I made and then over to the salt flats, we had such a great ride!  Aimee said before we left that I would probably have to wait for her a lot because she was so out of shape!?  Well after seeing her ride if that’s what you call out of shape I’m in big trouble, she rode great!  This morning we both took the dogs to the salt ponds and did some much needed trail maintenance over there.  Some areas were just thick with pica thorns all over the trail so she trimmed while I swept them away!  At 10:00 Aimee went with Sheila from CARF and helped her with some homeless dogs on the island.  This lady should get a bronzed statue of herself in the middle of the city for all she has done for the local wildlife here.  Please if anyone out there needs a fabulous island dog contact me and I will hook you up, we went over to her house a few weeks back and got to see some of them.  So while Aimee was out doing that I did a little Christmas shopping and then spent the rest of the day around the house.
 
That’s about it and yes we still have the whale for those of you asking he is doing very well.  See you tomorrow, Barry
