Touch me not sponge

Touch me not sponge

Good morning, here’s a little reef-scene from right out in front of the Sea Aquarium.  This is a beautiful cluster of Touch-Me-Not-Sponges and remember these are the sponges that are full of worms!  Behind the sponges is a nice chunk of Star Coral that more than likely spawned last month and we never got to see it because of the dumb current!  It seems out current is now gone but has been replaced by big waves driven by this strong wind we are still having.  I was trying to tell someone the other day the importance of using flash underwater, if you didn’t the whole photo would look like the background in this picture. 
 
Aimee and I are still without the car, I found out that it has something to do with the front wheel drive and or steering, whatever it is it doesn’t sound good.  We were unable to take the dogs anywhere yesterday so Aimee just walked them around here.  Aimee and I did jump on our bikes and do a grocery run after work, she stayed outside with the bikes and I ran in. 
 
They are still hunting for a missing American Consulate guy here in Curacao, he has now been missing for one week??  They found his clothes at one of the beaches we dive at and that’s about all they seem to know, I myself have heard 100 versions of the story now??
 
Off to work, talk to you tonight, have a great weekend, Barry
