Pictures! Apparently I've been failing at the photography aspect of my life, so I finally took my camera out on the boat yesterday! Of course, as luck would have it, it was some of the worst conditions I've been out in on Compass. Super windy, rained all day, and terrible visibility. However, my camera is smarter than I am and makes it look like the viz was amazing, so thanks technology!
I haven't been working a whole lot lately... we've only got one boat running, which automatically slows things down, but we've also had a string of terrible weather, keeping the boat from running for a couple days. Hopefully things will turn around and I get spend some more time on the water soon! But for now, some pictures!
Giant clam! These guys are super cool... they're about a meter long. Actually heard a story from one of the other boats that goes out to a little sand island... a guy was walking on the reef (a HUGE no-no) and stepped inside a giant clam. Clam grabs onto his leg and holds on for the better part of 40 minutes with only the guys head and shoulders above the water. Yeah man, that's what happens when you try to destroy the reef... it fights back!!
This is a Titan Triggerfish... they build little rock nests on the reef and if you get too close... they bite! Argh!
The little yellow dudes in the picture are coral rabbitfish... they always travel in pairs because they mate for life! Or at least that's what I like to tell the tourists. They are almost always in a pair though, they're pretty damn cute.
And this is the tiniest, babiest lionfish EVER. He could have sat in the palm of my hand, no problem. Cute little zebra lionfish...
And this is my boat! Well, one of them. The other one is still in pieces at the dry dock... but hopefully she'll be back in the water in a couple of weeks!
Love and fishes!
