Good morning all. Last night after work we immediately went with some friends out to the airport for dinner to celebrate a new restaurant that just opened, WENDY’S!!! It’s the first time I have had a fast food meal in years and it was great! The only bad part of the whole mission was once we got there we found out they didn’t have their World famous Frostys yet! But they said it’s on the way! Yesterday I stayed pretty busy at work. I first started to train a new person then went snorkeling for three hours and finally we did a sub dive which I took photos of. We have a channel of sorts that the sub comes in and out from and yesterday we spent some time removing some big underwater rocks with the crane. Those of us in the water helped our diver by bringing him big ropes to tie the stones with and then once tied we would give the signal to lift, the stones were then set in a better area. Curacao was hot yesterday, it’s starting to look like the rains are gone now for quite awhile! I am back to my routine again of hauling water out to the desert for my birds each day filling up the bird baths we made, they seem to love them!
Here is another shot from our trip to Vaersenbaai. This is a colony of Warty Corallimorphs that I found at around 35 feet out on the reef. This is actually something we don’t see to often especially in big number like we saw there. For those of you thinking you have seen thousands of these at the Superior site in the shallows, those are different, they are called Sun Anemones. Corallimorphs are very easily confused with Anemones! The best visual clue to the orders identity is the arrangement of the tentacles, which form two geometric patterns concurrently. The tentacles radiate out from the center of the oral disk, like spokes, and form concentric circles which progressively increase in diameter from the center.
I got up at 5:00am just for you guys today so never let it be said I don’t love you! I apologize for not posting the frogfish on my website yesterday, not sure how I forgot that but it’s there now.
Time to get ready for another big day, be back tonight, Barry
