 New Coral Growth Good morning all, such a busy day yesterday I had no energy left last night for anything! We got home from our night dive to the Superior around 10:00 and the dive was great. We did have a little difficulty getting in and out as usual but the Superior reef is really worth exploring. Well the next morning (yesterday) I had to get up real early to meet a couple I met that is here from Virginia, Mike and Susan and they are here just to explore the island on bikes. They have no rental car, just the bikes so I told them I would give them a sort of grand tour. We started out by riding many of my single-track trails and then rode over to the salt ponds, from there we took off to the North coast. At the North coast we started at Saint Joris bay then rode over the mountain to the ocean along the coast to the windmills and then back, we were gone for three hours! It was a great ride and after I left them at the Aquarium. There they parked their bikes and walked to Mambo beach and found a nice chair under the palms and spent the rest of the day relaxing on the beach and snorkeling. I on the other hand, cleaned my very dirty bike, went shopping, returned tanks from the night-dive, worked on my honey-do-list and played on the computer. I had wanted to take a nap and rest but never found the time. At 5:00 I rode back down to the aquarium and picked up our two new friends and had them follow me to our house where Aimee served up a wonderful homemade pizza dinner. After dinner I loaded their bikes on the car and took them back to their hotel which is down near Hooks Hut and upon getting back home fell into bed!
Here’s a real cool photo from a dive site in Bonaire called Invisibles. This is a new Grooved Brain Coral colony just starting to grow on this old rock. Hopefully if all goes well, this coral will keep spreading out more and more and will eventually cover that whole rock, and that will take years but could someday be quite a big specimen.
Running late, I need to get moving, talk to you tonight, Barry
