Well, It has been another busy day here at Salt Island...I now have a new garburator! I think we are now totally done in the galley for this year, time to move on.
Bazza was also replacing a grate in the starboard head. The teak grills have been repaired many times over the decades, but not anymore. This one is replaced by starboard, as believe me, you cannot afford teak again for them in the BVI!
I left him making a mess on the back deck when I went in the water.

First I went for a dive and then a long snorkel. A much longer snorkel then I thought as I dropped my brand new camera and had to go back ad find it!! That took a few passes, but I found it. I could not imagine coming back to the boat telling my husband that i needed a new one!

Quite a few barjack buzzing around when I went in the water...

A few little octopus... and a nice Bristle Worm that you do NOT want to touch if you see one! It will burn for hours! I know. I did it when I first moved down here.

A pretty anemone...

Some great eel shots, they were right underneath the boat.

I keep on trying to get a good picture of all the sand eels, but have not been too successful yet.

I think the same HInds that I took pictures of yesterday were there today..

These big gray snappers like to hunt in your lights at night..

And one of my favorite shrimp, the peppermint ones, which I have never had very good luck photographing and I wish I had a real close up lens today as they were situated perfectly!

That is it today, your daily snorkel, now I am watching the news, and I should really stop as I don't care for the media and how they fearmong and talk out of both sides of their mouths, just like politicians!
The weather has been very nice here in the BVI. No rain for awhile. I think we are moving on somewhere tomorrow as Bazza is going to do some work on the dinghy and replace the carpet on it as well.
