Final Chagos Snorkel from
South Fouquet
 Bobby took off from his place on the
outboard, flew up into his tree to watch over us as we beached Baby
Beez, swam and then tooled up for a final snorkel. The
water, as always, looked stunning and clear.

 This clam doesn’t look too
impressive, save for the fact it is indeed a giant clam,
the one we saw the other day, on its own, on the floor,
unattached and closed. Sad Bear was off on his own and not close
enough to come in for a perspective, had his fist been in the picture I could
prove this behemoth is actually two feet across and so rare to see it all
fluffed out.
 Further out the
water was a little milky. We went across, along and
around the reef, at one point we were closer to Beez than Baby
Beez. Bear enjoyed a swim pass with a reef shark and I had my fierce
grouper (yellow and black with teeth) trying to look angry but he only succeeded
in making me giggle. Here is the rest of what we saw and finally – Christmas
tree worms.
                                Off on the morrow, so going to miss this view.
ALL IN ALL A VERY SPECIAL
PLACE ON EARTH
ABSOLUTELY
