Day 81 - Tues, blogging, fish ID

Spent the morning identifying some of the fish in my photos with Mark, Emma and Nikki. 

The Honeycomb Grouper. I'm very proud of this shot, the visibility is so good.

Nikki is the girl doing a thesis on nudibranches. She wanted my photos and has identified my nudibranch as a Phyllidiidae Elegans. Seen on Corner Bar in up to 9m of water on Fri 16th August 2013.



Some people got seasick on the dive boat due to the choppiness!

Swam off Long Beach in the PM with Laure. We went as far as the Ecosea bungalows to have a look. They have a volleyball net and French windows, with real glass, in their bungalows! There was a lot of surf as its very windy at the moment. My Angkor sand structure had been wind blown and looked very evocative of 'The Mummy' movies! Even though inaccurate, I'm quite proud of its visual impact. :o)

The geckos are very active possibly because of the wind and I saw George make his gekko call last night for the first time: "Gek-ko, Gek-ko" . Spotted Prince George on guard outside the bungalow. We also have a large spider in the roof that I'm doing my best to ignore.

Started re-reading Pride and Prejudice. Tapestry coming along.  Collected some nice shells. Shadow's puppies sleep all day. Shadow makes the most of it.
