Sandy Bay

The daily cycle is starting to get into a routine.  Get up at 6:00, some coffee, walk 200 feet to the dive shop and sign up for the morning dive, some breakfast, go diving, eat, have a beer or two, short nap, eat, and go back to bed. 
Did two dives this morning, a repeat dive at the Green Outhouse and then a shallower dive at Bikini Bottom.  The second dive is probabbly my favourite one this year.  Lots of good coral, plenty of fish, and the best visibilty yet.  Hopefully with the good weather we're having, the visibility will continue to get even better.  Saw a few turtles, a cowfish, a scrolled filefish, and one pair of fish that I've never seen before which I think are Whitespotted Filefish.  Took a good video of a turtle and another of a pair of French Angelfish.
After lunch we taxied over to Sandy Bay where we hooked up with Genny again.  We toured her house which is a neat little cabana (did I mention it was for sale??) and then went out on the dock for a snorkel and the sunset.  The breeze was up, so the water was a bit cloudy.  It was too far to go all the way out to the reef with the breeze, so we just snorkelled about for awhile.  Saw some neat little shrimp on the posts of the dock and a couple of crabs.  The wind was chilly so we headed back into shore a little before the sunset.
There is a restaurant called the Blue Parrot that is right on the highway in front of the Sundancer cabanas where Genny lives.  We had another great meal there as well as a round of, you guessed it, Monkey Lalas.  Report on these ones is that they were good, not as creamy as some, but pretty rich in the alcohol content.......
Took 30 seconds to hail a cab at the edge of the highway.  Would have been quicker, but the first guy already had one passenger.  I don't think this vehicle would pass too many safety inspections, but it got us home. 
We just finished watching a little gecko stalking a moth that was twice his size, creeeping along the wall like a cat trying to slowly sneak up on something.  He managed to get a bite out of a wing, but the moth escaped with his life.  Now I'm seeing a second gecko out cruising. This guy must have gotten into a fight at some point in his life because he doesn't have a tail. 
Tomorrow not a single plan.  Maybe I'll try diving after breakfast and ........

Turtle feeding, then he headed up to the surface, right past me.
