Great White Hunter

Monday 13 September.
We awoke to no wind, blue sky and brilliant water visibility. Lydia has obviously got soft while spending the past 10 days with her family, as once again everyone was in the water before she even got out of bed.
After breakfast we all piled into the dinghy and headed off to snorkel the edge of the reef. The visibility was awesome and we all enjoyed the colours of the different fish and corals, exploring the bommies on the inside. Then to the outer edge where the reef has a wall that disappears into the abyss. This is where our great white (tanned) hunter (Lydia) struck again. Taking her trusty speargun she disappeared down the wall. A minute or so later she surfaced with a large red fish. She said that it was silver untill it was speared, then it turned red.
When we got back to Imagine we got out the books to find out what fish changes colour like that. Sorry no fish for lunch, it is a Chinaman (very poisonous).
Wraps for lunch. Then back to the reef for more snorkeling. This time our hunter returned with an edible fish. Fish for dinner tomorrow night as Sally cooked a great chicken dish for dinner tonight.
