Snails

Snails

Good evening friends, here’s something a little different tonight, these are yet another species of snails we have all over the island!  I found these in great quantities at Saint Joris bay the other day along the waters edge basking in the sun.  I couldn’t find a name for these so once again I ask for your help out there!  These beautiful shells are around a half an inch tall and the shell itself is super thick and strong unlike the snails we have all around our house, step on one of those and it’s game over!  There are areas I have found around the bay like this where the snails are just thick and just cover all the recently deposited driftwood and rocks, it’s really pretty cool.  Anyways something a little different, thought they were cool and thought you would like them as well.
 
I did a dive with a couple of my fellow co-workers today at around 2:00.  About the coolest thing we found was two seahorses!  They were both black, very big and just out in the open feeding, it’s always a treat to see those on a dive.
 
Alberto Contador and his team left today but dropped off a few more things to us before he headed back to Spain.  So I think I have everyone taken care of that asked me for something, will send him a big thank-you card to him and his brother (who is his manager) in a few days. 
 
As of this moment I am coming down with something??  I have been starting to feel something coming on for the past few hours and it seems to be getting worse?  Aimee bought us tickets to the Michael Jackson movie for tonight, gonna be a late light.
 
Till tomorrow, Barry
