Heading West ...

Life beneath ...

For the last ten days, Adrian's son Robert has been on board. His passion for sea-life has helped us identify and understand more about the creatures that live beneath us. As soon as the boat had anchored up, he was keen to get over the side to observe the local marine life and try his hand with the underwater camera.

He too (like his sister - and all of us lucky enough to have experienced the Tobago Cays) marvelled at the Green turtles that in large numbers frequent the Cays.

He soon put us right on our last blog post where we referred to the black and white spotted fish as a cowfish, it is in fact, a boxfish.

Of great excitement was the discovery of a Juvenile French Angelfish off of the island of Mayreau. Unfortunately our attempts to capture good picture were thwarted due to excitement ...

This is how the photo should have looked ....

Perfect shot of Angelfish

We are now in Hillsborough on the island of Carriacou to do some laundry and provision whilst awaiting a good weather window to begin our journey to Bonaire. This should be completed in less than four days and we hope to set off towards the end of the week as the moon will be full providing some good light for overnight passages.
