We went snorkeling yesterday here in Chatham Bay. It was pretty good, although I thought it might be better.

The top pic is of a massive school of minnows. Thousands and thousands that you could swim through. The pelicans were perched on the rocks about 4 feet away making sure I knew who’s territory it was.

The second pic is of a Porcupine Fish – I think. I thought it was a Puffer fish, but then looked it up on our chart and it says Porcupine Fish (although I didn’t see any quills, so I’m not sure why they would call it that. Or maybe I’m just wrong.)

All-in-all the snorkeling was good – I guess I’m getting spoiled – but some friends said there were schools of big fish. I guess I’ll just have to go again today. On a related note, there are fishermen in this bay periodically using their “nets from row-boats method”, so maybe there are schools of larger fish and I just don’t know how to find them.

The last pic is from days ago when we were on Mayreau. I played the drums with Righteous Bob on the top of his restaurant. Super nice guy. Told us about living on the island, his travels, his kids, his grandkids, COVID, etc. Super friendly and a great conversationalist.
