Lengkuas Island
Snorkel
 After our lighthouse visit our boat
skipper moved us nearby to snorkel. Hundreds of feet getting on and off so many
tour boats obviously scruffed up much sand so visibility was, as to be expected,
a bit cloudy. Initial shock at how much dead and
damaged coral gave way to the explorer needing to find something.
  The lighthouse, but things to see – a
huge pair, nine inches from tip to toe.
  They gave me the
once over and glided about their
business.
  Just two
clams, no worms and not a sniff of a soft coral.
  Then we saw something big shoot off to hide, just a
nose peeking out.
  After a very long wait we were
fortunate to see all eighteen inches of shy
boy.
  Off he went
again, pity we couldn’t put a hand near to show his size – no way, far
too skittish. A blenny then wanted our
attention.
 We did see one
area of new growth.
 A group of young
parrots off to explore.
   Always a joy to
see something different.
 Then a school
outing shot by.
 A parrotfish doing his thing.
 Poking my head up I saw a streak of
lightning and a storm threatening – time to
go.
ALL IN ALL MUCH REEF DAMAGE
WITH INTERESTING BITS AND BOBS
A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING BUT BEAUTIFUL, BIG
FISH
