BVI SCUBA diving

We were up and moved onto a ball at the wreck of the Rhone bright and early in the AM, and some were diving before breakfast and then after breakfast as well...
I took my camera in on the second dive, and I am pleased to announce that there is really no algae bloom left, it is about back to normal!
The squirrel Fish were gorgeous...

The Permit was following me around...

The Horse Eyed Jacks were where they are supposed to be again...

along with a pair of angelfish...

and a lobster...

Watched fish being cleaned for a bit...

Great silhouette of a snorkeler...

And then I took some pictures of our certified and resort divers, all looking much better then some other divers we saw down on the wreck!













We planned on a sail over to our dock for lunch to re provision and fill up with water, since these guests are not running the generator a lot this week, our watermaker is fighting to keep up along with the tank filling, plus our generator has been giving Bazza problems lately, and he has been fixing lots without getting a real definitive answer on the problem. Well about the time we finished our dive, it REALLY broke and he REALLY had to figure out what it was, so it worked out just as well we were stopping at dock, it gave Simeon and I time to run into town and he went to Parts N Power for parts and I went for provisions.
God damn is it hot on land! That is all I can say, and every last one of us was glad to get back out on the water this afternoon! We sailed and trolled up past Beef and the Dogs,
We had cocktails

and we circled every out cropping of rocks twice I believe and all we came up with was a half mackerel, a barracuda and we donated about 6 rigged ballyhoo to the fish!

Sunset was pretty at Mountain Point, but so were the mosquitoes and flies!

THe guys went for a bit of a troll to see if they could grab some bait just before sunset and nada....

They are out there again tonight after dinner trying. For the first time since the beginning of the season my feet HURT getting into bed tonight, so I know that I ran my ass off today!
I hope tomorrow is a bit slower...

Nice big fish caught last night!

It appears something larger was munching on him though!

We had a busy day, although you would not know it from my pictures...a dive on Angelfish Reef before Breakfast, a dive and resort dive at the Caves after breakfast, a long pound fishing, a snorkel and I went for a dive as well at Salt Island this afternoon, and you are going to see quite a few flounders and spotted eels in this blog entry. Our bloom is just about gone, a couple days ago, I was some patchiness to it and the last day or two it is very minimal...
Flounder...

LOTs of starfish around everywhere....

Here is one of those spotted eels...

More starfish...

More eels....

Same eel, different view...

A Tulip Shell eating a starfish...

This was amusing. I saw this little fish in the rocks, and it appeared that he had a fish in his mouth, I looked closer to get a picture, and realized that this fish had a Lure in his mouth! Very weird...

Another eel....

Another couple flounders....



and another starfish, just such a lovely time of the day to take pictures.

We had the most charbroiled barbecued chicken we have EVER made on the boat. It was less then perfect! I made up for it by making lots of extra Caribbean Bananas after dinner, and the garlic pureed potatoes with dinner were very good also!

Only the three large tri's in the anchorage tonight, Cuan Law, Wanderlust and Promenade. Cuan Law and Promenade have been on the same schedule for a couple weeks now!
