Top of Mount Christoffel

Good evening all, mega winds and monster waves are really stirring up our little island, it looked like the North shore of Hawaii at the Sea Aquarium today!!  Honestly today was some of the biggest waves I have seen roll in around here, it was one big crash after another!!  Usually when waves hit they get stopped by our mountains of giant boulders that surround the aquarium but today they hit and exploded over the top!  I spent almost all day outside photographing dolphins and was amazed at the amount of salt spray flying thru the air.  Before I took my camera out in that mess I cut the leg off one of my old wetsuits and made a full length neoprene cover that went over the whole camera, it worked great!! 
 
Our dear Emily left today, to say she will be missed in an understatement, everyone loves her!!  Emily is on her way to being a first rate veterinarian and was here working with Aimee and studding the dolphins and learning more about them.  She has worked in Africa and is going back soon again, I think she should be doing a daily blog!!  So Emily we hope you are safe and sound back home and thanks again for everything, we loved our Christmas gifts!!
 
This is Aimee at the top of mount Christoffel, she was actually the highest point on the island for a short time!  You can really see just how high up we are, this is around 1300 feet above sea level and like I said before the view is amazing!!
 
Hope you all are doing well, enjoy the weekend, Barry
