We did another snorkeling excursion with Steve and Tonya to a new reef. This one was a little deeper but had huge coral heads that came up to the surface. Again, I was the only one with a spear and this time it was crab that we found. I saw the first one and shot it after he climbed into a hole. We had a hard time getting it out of the hole and while we were trying to do that, Tonya spotted a HUGE one. Its claws were the size of my hand! We ended up bagging three crabs, so along with the three lobsters and the two conch we had a seafood feast last night for dinner with Better Days and it was fantastic.

Today a "raft up" is planned for all of the boats in the anchorage. We have not done this before but the plan is everybody ties up their dingy's to each other and float around while enjoying some drinks, snacks and conversation. It should be fun.

BTW, the lunar eclipse two nights ago was pretty spectacular. I am wondering if people back home saw it too?
