Happy Birthday to Genny, Happy Birthday to Genny, Happy Birthday day dear Genny, Happy Birthday to you!  Yippee, she’s 11 years old.  Her big birthday surprise is a sewing machine, pattern, and a big stack of fabrics.

I always make Halloween Costumes and boat canvas.  This and Genny’s creative eye for wrapping blankets around her to make ball gowns, have made this a gift she should have fun with.

For several hours this morning we moved to O’Brien Cay.  On the way she made this cute striped shirt that she wears over her bathing suit.

After an intimate family dinner we celebrated with box mix chocolate cupcakes and home made frosting.  Around here sugar on anything is a hit.

O’Brien Cay is next to Johnny Depp’s island, a sunken airplane and a snorkel spot called the aquarium.  As you can see, I’m loving my camera. If you all are sick of underwater pictures of fish and coral, just let me know and I’ll cut back on filling the blog with them.

I’m wondering if the Bahamas has more than usual sunken planes, maybe they don’t salvage them, or maybe the water is so shallow, they’re not hard to find.

The corals and sponges are put together like a wild flower garden.  I could never arrange them as beautifully as God has.

We saw huge schools of big fish, little schools of colorful fish, barracuda, conch, grouper, lion fish and lobster.  Everyone frolicking in the national park.  Roy is getting really itchy with his fishing poles and Hawaiian sling, but they are safely packed away in his room where we can’t get in trouble for fishing in the park.

I visited the spotted eagle ray a couple times.  Once I was snorkeling in shallow water and got withing 10 feet of it. He has eyes like a cat and cruises around like Mr. Ray from Finding Nemo.

Some online prescription viagra without years ago people typically associated liver problems with drinking too much and sclerosis. The sand beneath Makai is covered with conchs who have no fears of becoming chowder, salad or fried cakes.

These two lion fish are lucky too.  Everywhere we’ve seen them in the Atlantic Ocean the officials are encouraging their destruction. Apparently, these fish were released from aquariums and even accidentally during a 1992 hurricane.  They have spread throughout the tropical Atlantic waters and have been eating their way through reefs along the way.  Officials are asking divers to kill them and luckily many people are eating them as well.  They are beautiful but don’t belong in the Atlantic Ocean.

Then on our last morning Roy and I went for a quick snorkel on some coral head near the boat.  That’s when Roy found these jumbo lobsters.  They were living in a coral head about 3 feet high in 6 feet of water.

Roy stuck the camera in one hole.

Then another hole.

All the while thinking of melted butter and a shell cracker.  I thought he was going to jump in the kayak and paddle the 3 miles to the edge of the park so he can sling one of these big guys.

Around the corner from the reefs is another great sand bar bay.

 

We floated down the tidal streams and romped in the sand.  Another paradise, we still don’t know if we have a favorite place, each place is better than the last.
