I am interested in the transition between the sea and the air.   The color changes as you dive underwater.  The textures are very different even in such close proximity.   The boat’s underwater appendages look ominous underwater.

Framing a shot while treading water is really a mater of luck.   The camera becomes the boss and the photographer the passenger.

Gail ended her swim early after seeing a crab with a big claw.  Peace is easy to find at a Bahamian anchorage with little breeze.

Shortly after arriving in Black Point we heard a boat wishing to enter the cut with no motor.   I volunteered to help them through the cut with Frank from Dream Weaver.   I  gave wind updates on the cut as Dream Ketcher approached “You will have a beam reach in 12 knots of wind.”   As Dream Ketcher rounded the point we side-tied the two dinghies and brought her into the anchorage.   It was a very wet and wild ride aboard One Fish (our dinghy).   I think I should have had more slack in the painter.  I was offered a bottle of wine by the nice crew of Dream Ketcher but declined as I only needed some shade.

This silver dollar size fish has followed me around during my swim the last two days. The fish is fearless and likes to swim 6 inches away from me.    The fish will not flee when I thrash the water during my free dives.   Is the fish mesmerized by my goggles or swim shirt or like a stray cat looking for a home?  I have not told him that the last fish guest was dinner.

Bahamian weather has been kind to us so far.   Daily we have seen ominous clouds and with luck and radar we have only received glancing blows.   The CAPE index (measurement of convective activity or thunderstorms) is forecasted to be high the next few days.   We will stay safe and enjoy the colors of the storm cells we dodge.
