Slow Time

Yesterday we had an amazing experience with John and Wendy from Windermere since they offered to take us to their favorite snorkeling and shelling sites near Staniel Cay.  I am a reluctant snorkeler, so Wendy’s encouragement was absolutely wonderful!

Bob took videos….

Here’s some of my loot!

And an assortment of other beauties.  The top far right is a small conch.  I wish I had photographed the inside which is a deep coral.  The ones in the middle and bottom that are long and narrow with bands of coral are called “sunrise tellins.”  I have quite a few more that I did not photograph yet, including a large conch which I hope will become our sunset bugle.  My favorite shells are almost too tiny to see and are bright green!  They are called “emerald nerites.”  I hope I find more along the way.

This is today.  I’m using skype to call our younger son Chris!  Don’t I look happy?  We had to scream in order to barely hear each other.

I’m sitting outside Lorraine’s internet cafe on Black Point Cay.
