Most of our days here are spent in the water. The Captain is a spear fisherman, but I am content floating along looking at the life under the sea. Not a lot of writing in this post, just a few pics of what we see once we are in the crystal clear waters of the Exumas.

| Coral Head |

| Speared lion fish |
The lion fish is reported as a destructive menace here. I have read that the lion fish can devastate up to 80% of fish in a coral reef in less than 6 weeks. Their stomachs can increase 30 times its normal size, and they have no known predators here. So while I am not a spear fisher, I do point them out to the Captain whenever I see one, so that we can help the coral reef in getting rid of a few.

Just a peek at some of the lovely sites we see while swimming around.
Until next time...
Enjoy!!!
