The As Yet Elusive Green Chaps
are Stalked and Photographed
At four o’clock today we leave Port Maurelle for
the overnighter to Lifuku in the next group of islands called Ha’apai. After
breakfast and a few games we went for a snorkel, off to the left of Beez Neez.
Every time we have ever seen these little green chaps, they
hide in a flash, today we are going to stalk them
until they come out.
By contrast
these chaps are not camera shy at
all.
The fattest sea
cucumber - ever.
This chap appeared
from nowhere and leapt into the picture, I was aiming
at the little blue fella.
Visibility was not perfect after the high winds and heavy
night rains we’ve had for the last few days .
After these chaps, it’s time to stalk.
It took a while for the boys to gather and feel at
ease.
Soon enough
there were many and
they let us get quite close
En route back, the buoy we were tied to was a nursery for
real itsy-bitsies.
Beez herself provided shelter for
many and Bear in the
blueness.
ALL IN ALL THE CHAPS GOT
QUITE USED TO MODELING
SURPRISINGLY
