 Ragged Sea Hare Good evening friends, I found something new for you all, this is a Ragged Sea Hare. These cool creatures have been showing up everywhere around the shallow waters of the Aquarium lately!? They appear to be eating machines which is good news considering our lagoons have been filled with moss and sargassum from the lack of water flow. Everyone has been telling me about these things so today I finally jumped in to see what all the talk was about. Well just like they said, they were everywhere and in all colors including white ones! I picked one up today and held it in my hands, it felt like putting your hands in a bowl of Jell-O! They move pretty fast across the sand like big slugs and breath and poop out of these two holes on their backs, I must say they are pretty cool!
Well let’s see what did we do today in Curacao?? I took off to the ocean early for a dive before conditions got any worse. My goal again was to photograph the baby Elkhorn tiles that the scientists left and try and get some progress photos for them. I did have a little better success today, I found a really good one that had lots of new coral growth and worked on shooting that one and that one only for over an hour, topside conditions made this task very difficult. Once out I jumped in again in the shallows and played with the Ragged Sea Hares for about an hour, they were just to cool. I spent the rest of the day at the house working on the computer and at 5:00 left the house for an hour and forty five minute bike ride with the local group I ride with on tuesdays now. We rode about every trail we could find and some more than once and it never seems to get boring!
That’s about it, Aimee is making dinner the dogs are resting after their evening walk and I am still cooling down from a fast paced ride. Talk to you tomorrow, Barry
