Here Fishy, Fishy

The bay is especially clear today (it has been murky lately from all the rain we’ve been getting every night), so the boys decided to take out their fins and spears to go spearfishing around the reef at the end of the bay. I could only find two left-footed flippers and decided to snorkel along. A small yellow and black fish about the size of my thumb followed me around for over an hour – even all the way back to the sand. There were so many different types of fish in the water – it was really cool too see zills of fish, even in as little as 6 inches of water. Wiley was gone for about 30 minutes; the boys were pretty worried that he had gone into a cave and gotten stuck. His friend Scott went in after him and lo and behold, Wiley comes out with a 14 inch parrot fish. DINNER!
