Scrub-a-Dub-Dub!

Second half of scrubbing the underwater sections of Spruce this afternoon. Quite a tiring job and we are so glad to be doing this with air tanks and not just snorkelling as we used to do on the former Spruce.

It is amazing how much growth becomes loosely attached over a few weeks. A veritable soup of living organisms exist in tropical waters...

...our Spade anchor dug in at 20 feet deep. Looks like there is a hard substrate stopping it digging deeper as it usually does...

That strange brown sausage looking thing crawling along the bottom in your underwater photo is a sea cucumber. We used to get them in Greece. They suck in sand at one end, digest any deposits on it the poo out clean sand at the other end

...a sea-slug, or maybe a squirt, slowly crawling along the bottom as debris falls from the hull. Perhaps a tasty meal made easy?

That's a sea cucumber crawling along the bottom. They suck in sand at one end, hoover off the nutrients then poo out clean sand at the other end.

Netting Fishes

12/Mar/2012, Port Elizabeth - Bequia

A treat to have lunch out at Cocos Bar. A beautiful open air top floor verandah overlooking Admiralty Bay. second treat was to watch a chap using a throwing net to catch small fish used to feed turtles at the local turtle sanctuary. Sue managed to capture a shot of the net as it landed on the water...good timing or pure luck, an excellent photo...
