We still love it here at Dakiti and have decided to stay and explore more of Culebra and the Virgin Islands for the time being before eventually moving on down the island chain...whenever that may be! It has been our plan all along to have no schedule and to stay where we want to stay as long as we want to stay...so we are sticking to our plan :) Life is good!
Today we used our new underwater camera for the first time, so here are some of the promised pictures of our underwater world! My captain took them and I bestowed him with the title of "official underwater camera man"...because the photos are awesome despite the murky conditions present down there today! Way to go to my sweetie :) As you can see the mini reef not far from our anchorage is pretty healthy...we were surprised to find so much variety there! Especially the Queen Angelfish is something you don't see very often...the starfish are plentiful here and always make us smile...Rick even found a six legged one the other day (they usually have 5 "legs") and we will definitely try and find it again and take a picture (!)...lots of different size sponges and corals are part of the scenery and the ever so beautiful feather dusters, which are actually tube worms that sway gently in the underwater current...and yes, we found a lion-fish, not so good news, because they are predators that eat anything, multiply by the hundreds, and have no natural enemies here in the Caribbean (!)...
We went snorkeling late in the afternoon today, so the sunshine was lacking and the water appeared murky...there will be many more underwater pictures in future posts under more favorable conditions...but today was the FIRST "underwater session" of our full time cruiser life and we are proud to share it with you all :) Stay tuned and God bless!
