By Friday morning the wind had really dropped - 10 kts or less - perfect for hookahing. For the morning, w went back to finish the mini-atoll we had done 3/4 of before. I also brought my spear gun in hopes of getting the two large lobsters that were under the ledge. We anchored in essentially the same spot, launched the hookah, and dove in. I swam directly to the lobster spot. The little one ws there, but the two big ones were gone. Bummer! I carried the gun with me for the rest of the dive in case I saw something good to shoot, but it was probably a mistake as the weight of the gun (which was probably 1-2 lbs. more than its buoyancy) made me negative and I had to struggle at times to stay off the bottom when I was hovering. The rest of the circle was as beautiful as the first 3/4 and we enjoyed wandering out along the arms that stretched out into the sand. At one point a group of several jacks saw back and forth, just out of range. I swam rapidly toward them and fired, but missed. I was pretty sure I would, but I was also sure they were not going to get any closer so I gave it a try. We found a couple more lobster, but they were too small to shoot. After completing the final 1/4 of the circumference of the mini- atoll, we spent time covering the shallows, looking for conch or lobster. Deb (clearly the best hunter) found another nice conch. Back at the boat, my sour dough had risen nicely so I mixed up some bread to rise while we did our afternoon dive. For the afternoon, we went to the largest and furthest mini-atoll. I bought the gun, but left it in the dinghy unless we found some lobster to get. We didn't, but Deb found a couple more conch. Over the edge, it was fantastic. This mini-atoll has the best "geography" - that is the only word I can think of to describe the array of arms and canyons that extend out from the mount. It is truly like flying over a mountain range, except you can dive right down into it. Once again, we saw lots of great fish. This time we saw a nice 2' puffer swimming free and also a good sized Nassau Grouper swimming free - should have brought the gun! But even though he was swimming free (grouper are most often found in hidey-holes), he was wary and I never could have gotten close enough for a shot. As I was watching the grouper, Deb tugged at my fin rather urgently and pointed to a 5-6' nurse shark that was swimming right up to us. They, too, are usually found only hiding under coral. Must be something about this place. I watched her approach straight towards me and finally put up my flipper when she was about 3' away. She swerved off and swam away, undisturbed. Dave found a conch and as he was swimming up to put it in the bag hanging off the hookah, I looked up after him and noticed it was raining - quite hard. The rain on the water, seen from below, was quite a sight. It didn't seem to be accompanied by much wind as the hookah was no harder than usual to pull, so we finished our dive and by then the rain had stopped. We saw the storm could and rain off to the W as we surfaced. By the time we got back to the boat, we were all tired from two great dives. We settled in to different parts of the boat - Deb & Lisa on the cushions in the salon, DAve in the hammock, and me in the shade of the cabin out on the foredeck - and read. We were so relaxed, it was nearly 6:00 before I thought to make boat drinks! But that I did and then baked bread and made conch fritters with remoulade sauce and a spinach salad for dinner. Truly a great day.
