 ABOUTfeatured: 30 Best Snorkeling Blogs Fun Ways to enjoy the caribbeanMar 9, 10 Comments Off
 Web Burrfish Good evening from the Caribbean melting pot!! Well today like every day off flew by so fast it made my head spin!! This morning I grabbed the dogs and a big push broom and went out to do 3 hours of trail work. This sounds like a big deal but when your out there sweeping and raking time goes by very fast and if it wasn’t for the scorching heat I would have stayed longer. On our way back home this morning Inca jumped into the ocean to cool off and swam out a little ways. I noticed some waves coming in behind her and called for her to turn around and come back now! Well she almost made it but one wave picked her up and like a dog at a talent show she was surfing! I was laughing pretty hard as that wave picked her up and carried her the whole way in. Her eyes were huge and upon touching down onto shore she got a case of the crazies and just started racing around in circles, it was so funny! After washing dogs and feeding myself I took off to do my “honey do list” and then spent the rest of the afternoon sorting thru hundreds of pictures I just took from Bonaire. At 4:00 I took off on a long bike ride to savor my freshly cleaned trails from this morning, it was hot and dusty but it was fun!
Ok on to the good stuff! For years Aimee and I have been hunting for this fish and finally we found one in Bonaire. This is beautiful Web Burrfish we found hanging out in the rubble at Eden Beach right in front of the Wannadive dive shop. This incredible creature is in the Porcupinefish family but is in a class of his own. When we first found this guy he was un-inflated and laying kind of hidden in the rocky rubble but seconds upon our arrival “which was very quiet” he started to puff-up into the ball you see here! I have no clue what made this guy so upset but he was on the defense from the start, maybe he had a bad run-in with other divers or some big scary fish? These fish are not fast they just inflate and float and usually keep their backs to you at all times. For me this one of my highlights of the trip to finally get to see one of these and days later I would get to see another on Klein Bonaire, such a great place! How big was this guy you ask?? I think close to a foot and was just so colorful, I have a face view as well and will be sending that out in a few days, stay tuned.
It’s dinner time, talk to you tomorrow, Puffed Up Web Burrfish Regards, Barry
