BVI blogger logging in!
No we still don't have internet on the boat and I am on the beach at Foxys getting eaten alive by mosquitos, so I will be brief!
A slower start the other morning with a shop and look around Saba rock, while I stole the internet on the boat – Hurrah!
Seas were pretty flat today so we decided to head on out to the chikuzen!! And what dives we had, we stopped there for 2! First one with Richie, they saw the huge old Jew fish who lives around the boat and spent a lot of the dive with him, he was quite interested in what they were doing on his wreck, there was also a smaller one around too.
Heres the big old boy
We had some lunch and then off again, this time I get to go and I took Mr B for good measure! We saw the smaller Jew fish again, along with an eagle ray being chased by a cobia. As I got to the end of the wreck I saw another eagle ray and then another, there were 2 swimming in a circle with each other!! No one else saw them! All the usual characters were around to, the big barracuda, horse eye jacks…… What a dive!
It was then a cruise in to Muskmelon bay, there was water sports, banana boating, wake boarding and some of the group went off for a dive in the bay. The boys went off for a night dive with Richie, there was only a couple of keen ones, so instead of going off the back of the boat, Rich took them over to the corner by Time square. It was Toms first night dive and what a treat it was
This morning every one was bright eyed and bushy tailed, after a hearty breakfast, we dived Time Square, quite murky, but a fabulous dive all the same, big lobster, moray, millions of silver sides, with mackrel and pimentos surrounding them.
We had a quick snorkel stop at Monkey Point, as fabulous as always! A spinnaker run took us down to Brewers Bay, quite clear for a change, off Richie goes, while I make some lunch, only to be told as his mouth comes out the water…… sea horse!!!!!! How unimpressed was I!
They saw some other pretty cool stuff too
any how, off we go, back to the boat, we have some diving to do, hopefully I will get some internet this weekend when we get back to Road Town!
