We start with a photo of a Coast Guard helicopter flying over the Bellafonte late morning and a large cruise ship passing by our balcony early morning. This ship left later in the day, around sunset.

Linda noticed these two (right) Bare-eyed Pigeons "necking" on a palm frond in front of our balcony. By the time I got my camera, they became more aloof. In the late afternoon I noticed two pigeons in the tree outside our kitchen window. The larger pigeon spent several minutes grooming the smaller.

The day was ideal for diving with a bright sun all day. We decided to spend both dives at the Something Special dive site. The visibility underwater was the best that we have seen in several years. So these dives were magical. Photos below include: Queen Angelfish, Queen Parrotfish, another Queen Angelfish, Porgy, Stovepipe Sponge, Trunkfish, Spanish Hogfish, Trumpetfish, Purple Anemone, baby Fench Angelfish (about 1 inch long), Seahorse and a view outside our kitchen window before our second dive - a dramatic sky.
