The shells I found out snorkeling. 3- Queen Conch Shells and 1 other one that I don't know the name of, it is the one with the black creature in it. When we got back to the island I cooked the shells in boiling water for 5-10 minutes and then tried to pull the creature out, it would not budge and I had to leave it behind when we went home, the fish can clean it out and someone else will have a lovely shell. I couldn't get the animal out of a few smaller shells that I had found and threw them back in the water below our cabin to let the fish eat at them. Two days later I went to check on them again and they were gone, stolen by some hermit crabs and they left their old shells there, dumb hermit crabs! I did find one of them 1 day later and got my revenge, I now have my shell back minus the crab!

More fun scuba diving the Tunnels. We saw a Hawksbill turtle and lots of barrel sponge. We went through 6 swim throughs and some of them were a little tight.

Scuba diving the swim throughs.

Drinking coconuts on our deck.

School of Blue Tangs swimming past me.

Lynn hunting for a green coconut for me to drink. He got me at least one coconut to drink each day we were here. We also had fresh grated coconut to eat with our pineapple and put in a cabbage and pineapple salad that I made for dinner. I tried making coconut candy, but it turned in to coconut syrup that we put on our french toast a couple of mornings. Yum!

Lynn caught this Barracuda and we ate it for dinner that night, delicious!
Another trip to Glovers Reef and paradise for Lynn and I. What a relaxing vacation this was, we had a wonderful time reconnecting with each other. It has been over 15 years since we had gone for over a week with just the two of us. Wonderful!
Hello.......What do I do with this now?
