Friday: Dinner with about 20 friends. It was really fun. Saturday was a 800 meter sea swim.
Guessing about a hundred swimmers total.
Sunday morning I saw the moon set. Just like a sunset, except it was an (almost) full moon. I always wanted to see that my whole life and Sunday was the first time.
And i went diving Sunday as you probably guessed by the pictures. I have too many Flamingo Tongue pictures but I can’t stop taking pictures of them.
I slept comparatively well last night, thanks to Lois’s Prayers no doubt.Thank you.
It was a good day yesterday. Went diving and met the contractor (who actually showed up on time). He trimmed the edges of the tile and filled in a few spots missed by grout. I gotta say, the job looks good!
Now I’m ready to have a party!
Below are a few pictures from yesterday’s dive. Ya got your standard Queen Angel, your daily Flamingos Tongues, not to mention Cool Courtney and Bermuda Brian..

And now it’s ā nuther Monday, which I’m actually looking forward to.
Top left to right, top to bottom: Damselfish, Eye of flounder, Nassau grouper, Spotted Moray eel, Two flamingos tongues on fan coral, and a big puffer fish.
Below is a picture of a frog fish. The frog fish you can actually see. The question is, can you see the frogfish in the pictures pictures I took below that?
Red Warty Frogfish, Antennarius maculatus, Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, which MarkD60 stole from the internet.
Sunday I went diving and saw and took pictures of a frog fish. They were very difficult to see except when they moved. Unlike the picture above, mine look like they aee covered with dirt or growth. Below are my 3 pictures of a frog fish. On one, I can see the eye maybe.
A few weeks ago I took some other pictures of another frog fish and couldn’t see the fish in the picture. I didn’t delete them and I will go back and look today. If there are more than 3 pictures above, the latter ones were added from that previous dive.
Let me know if you can see the fish in these fish pictures!
I saw my seahorses 3, 4 and 5 this week. They were all in about 10′ area, out in the sand flats between the mini reef and the drop off. They were all about 3″ tall I guess.
It was a good weekend, did some yard work and took some naps. I went out to dinner with the Friday night dinner club, but the Sunday pizza on the beach hasn’t really been happening lately. I liked that better than the Friday night dinners.
On Friday I went diving early and was home before the internet man came and supposedly fixed my internet. Then I trimmed the hedges, and mowed the front yard. I went to town and picked up a dozen 18×18 pavers so that I could double the size of the backyard patio below the apartments back porch. I also did a lot of shopping, running around and errands. Saturday I went diving again, and the sea was rough when we got in, and super rough and pouring rain when we got out.
Then, Saturday afternoon, in the rain, I laid the pavers down in the backyard, what which isn’t easy because they all have to be leveled.
My body is sore from so much physical exercise and bending over, and my left calf is very sore because diving Friday I had a very bad cramp just before I got out of the water. I feel all beat up but good.
Friday we did a good deep dive at the main wall and and Saturday we stayed kinda shallow at the mini wall (Different dive sites) and today is too rough and weathery for diving period.
There was an 800 Meter Sea Swim scheduled, that was canceled Saturday. There was a Coral Fest exhibition for Sunday that was canceled because of covid. The sea swim was previously canceled because of covid, and was canceled yesterday because of the weather.
Below are pictures in 2 groups, Below is Friday’s dive.

Today is Sunday, but it’s not sunny at all. It’s cold and windy. And on-and-off-again rainy.
I had a weirdish breakfast, my bagels were frozen, so I had a pretzel instead. ( If the salt and pepper is on the other side of the eggs,)
