Thar she blows!

We went back to Soper’s Hole, so we could check out of the BVI, via the RMS Rhone – it was a good dive, but the vis apparently wasn’t as good as the day before. Very large puffer and a nice barracuda. I was "attacked" by a blue sergeant major fish protecting his eggs. He's about 8 cm across. He also attacked a very large queen parrot. Plucky fellow! There's a new slideshow of some of the photos we took

On the way back to Soper’s Hole we saw whales! Jamie was the one to spot a “blow” and we could then clearly see their backs in the water. They blew a few more times and then one of them fluked as they dived and disappeared. Fantastic. No pics – I wasn’t about to miss the action going to get the camera!

At Soper’s Hole we eat at a dockside pub and were entertained by a huge number of extremely large tarpon, their eyes lasing red in our torchlight.

We also went to Soper’s Hole so I could get internet access and we could check Jamie’s secondary school allocation on line – they are available at 12:00:01 on 02/03—8pm our time. I had a bit of a panic centred around the fact I couldn’t remember my password but eventually we found she got her first choice – wahoo!

This time our mooring held all night!!
