Random Report
The first day Mrs Random and I headed to Jumbie.
We snorkled arount the point to Denis - one if my favorite underwater trails. Then it was back to pool beach, and dinner at Aqua Bistro.
Day 2 found us at Salt Pond. We headed left.
The very next day we hiked to Haulover North. Spectcular! 100 yards to the left we were swarmed by a school of Tang and a bass-like fish (...a little help here?). For 5 minutes we hung in the coral while the fish schooled in circles, mixing up the direction so we could not tell where they were.
Breathless, we headed back with an escort.
Back on the beach, Mrs Random stayed in the blind (Hobo Shack) while I stalked the elusive Night Heron...
The brilliant colors are endless, but here's a sampler.
It rains almost every day, but you can see it coming.
Infrastructure.

Re: Random Report
Chet, your pictures are awesome, thanks for sharing. The snorkeling this week has been really good. Hope to see you Tuesday at Zozo's.
Re: Random Report
L - last year we saw a Lion Fish in the same area and marked it with a float then Leslie called it in. Could it be the same one? Dunno.

Re: Random Report

Re: Random Report
Maggy - thanks. Loved the bug-eyed stare of the chub
Steve - no worries, plenty left for our friends. Once again, Haulover North, left side has provided astounding beauty. The booties I got for Barb came in handy.
PA Girl - the reference to Marlin Perkins and Jim was intentional. Gypsy Camp...love it!
