Juvenile Spotted Drum

Juvenile Spotted Drum

Good evening all, finally talked to Aimee on Skype tonight apparently her moms monitor crashed and is waiting for a new one.  Sounds like all is well and she’s having a great time!! 
 
Here’s a tiny little Juvenile Spotted Drum I found the other day in a little cave, he was only about an inch in length!  That big long fin on top will get smaller and smaller as they get older.  These are some of the most fascinating fish in the sea to watch, they are so graceful and just swim in circles in front of their homes all day long.  Today on my dive I watched as a big electric blue cowfish attacked another smaller one?  He would constantly run into the side of the smaller one hitting him hard with his mouth, weird huh??  I do have a so so photo but will send it so you can see, it was very strange?  My dive today started out with clear, calm water and no current but after 20 minutes everything changed!  Once that current starts up it takes everything you got to swim into it and taking pictures becomes close to impossible, you just can’t keep still enough to focus! 
 
After work today I met our friend Matthias who brought his two dogs, one is Kaya the dog we rescued a long time ago, remember??  We did an hour walk around the World Cup course which is pretty much back to being in terrible shape for riding!  We have so much loose rock here that it needs to be constantly cleaned or it makes the riding way more dangerous. 
 
That’s about it, sorry nothing exciting tonight!  Many thanks for all the recent photo compliments you guys are great!  It’s off to bed for the three of us, see you tomorrow, Barry
