I didn't see them as I was in the dinghy to watch out for speeding fishermen who might not be looking for swimmers within the mooring field.
Lionfish are very pretty and TASTY TOO!

Day before Turkey Day
It is a blustery morning again here in Christiansted, but at least it doesn't look like rain... although sometimes it rains when the sun is shining :)
We were going to take the bus up to the big supermarkets yesterday but guess what? It RAINED just about the time we needed to leave to catch the bus. We plan to walk up to Pueblo at Golden Rock this morning and get some fixin's for T-Day. It's good exercise, too.
In Bob's BoatBits post this morning "T-Day minus one..." he mentioned dropping off something at a food bank. It would be great if Pueblo had a barrel at the exit door so we could put a couple of cans in it... Way back when I was a small child, stores used to do this and, remember Toys For Tots? Does this still exist? Hopefully they still have food drives like this stateside, but I'm sure there are people here in the USVIs who would benefit, too.
This weekend was the Wahoo Tournament. We went to Saturday's weigh-in and they said that this guy would have probably won that day's catch except that a shark made out first :)
We didn't go to see Sunday's fish because... it was RAINING!
Have you checked out the Black Friday Sale (all week) at Amazon? We got one of their Lightning Deals on a TV series (6 DVD) for only $12 plus free shipping. Hurray!
At least with all of this crappy weather, I've been able to do some web work...
I heard that the folks who are messing about with that particle accellerator thingy & the big bang theory might soon have insights into other dimensions. I could use some sort of time dimension so I could get more work done in a day (without wearing myself out) and a really useful one for all of us would be a spatial 4th dimension where you could have the accommodation of a 65-foot boat in a 34-foot boat package.
And, speaking of charities, have you pressed the purple button lately??? Go to The Animal Rescue Site and after pressing their button, run along the tabs at the top for Hunger, Breast Cancer, Child Health, Literacy, and Rain Forest and press their buttons, too.
Have an excellent day!

Coffee and a barracuda
We just went outside to have our second cup of coffee out on the foredeck. I spilled mine... oops! and when Bob came back out with a paper towel for me, he saw a good sized barracuda off our bow.
So, I quickly mopped up my coffee drips and ran down for the camera.
I hope he's gone by the time we want to go for a swim :)

Skinny fish
It was way past sunset last night by the time we had our "sundowner" of rum and brie & crackers (I'm going to miss the good brie we buy on the French side of St. Martin) so I had my new little LED flashlight with us out on the foredeck to be able to find the cheese on the plate.I turned and pointed the beam of light into the water and I was surprised that we had so many of these skinny fish (I don't think they are ballyhoo but maybe cousins) all around the boat.
