Spotted Moray

Hi all, I had another great dive today with my friend Mark at Pier Baai.  We again set out to find the seahorse with hopes of doing some more fun “creative shots” but it wasn’t in the cards!  We did see the silly squirrelfish in the same sponge but ended up leaving him for another day.  I found this very big spotted moray eel and just had to take his picture, he was in the perfect spot with a nice black background what more could you ask for??  These eels just poke their heads out of the reef during the day and at night come all the way out and go hunting, so if there are any fish reading this, Beware!!  After 30 some minutes Mark signaled me with his crazy underwater impression of a galloping horse, he had found the seahorse!  The bad news was he was in a spot that was not good for photographs and NO for those of you asking we can not move him to a different area!   So we just admired him and took off we both had run out of time to be at that depth and took off to shallower waters.

After the dive I got my bike ready and took off for an hour and a half ride to the castle at Baya.  There I have a Geocache hidden and it was in need of some trail trimming to get to it.  I received an e-mail a few days ago from some Geocachers that they found it but got really cut up getting to it and today I found out why, it was completely covered in thorn bushes!  I also found out today how out of shape I have gotten, it’s back to the bike for awhile!

After spending the rest of shopping I am now beat, I made Aimee some delicious food on a stick tonight and am waiting for the grill to heat up.  Hope all is well, Curacao regards, Barry
