Before I get to our new guests I have to add something to our last visit to the blue hole. Anita and I walked down the beach and took each other's pictures by the mangroves. It wasn't until we got back home and looked at the photos that we saw this:
Look what is on the sand so close it could have bitten us. Neither one of us saw that starfish!!! So she tells me to go back to the beach but I insist things are never ever where you last saw them, the tide giveth and the tide taketh away.
We have new guests, Verna and her son Kyle have come for a week. Today was the best day (wind conditions) so off we went to the blue hole. The first thing I did was walk down to the mangroves to prove to Anita the starfish would not be there. Much to my surprise it was, but it was in very bad shape. After a week stuck in the sand among the mangroves it had turned white and it felt mushy. I carried what was left of it on a stick. On the way back (missed it on the way there) I found the starfish on the left. So Anita, you were right! I now have my first starfish.
Grand Bahama is a small place. There we are on a deserted beach and who should come along but TB and Rosemary, looking for a deserted beach.
More photos, visibility was better than last week.

A few days later we took the dinghy to Peterson's Cay.

If you watch very closely you can see a small blue fish swim by. Unfortunately didn't get a photo of him.
