00:40 After my
routine bed sweep I can officially state, Tarantula Hawk Wasps and Scorpions
are the scariest creatures alive! Or added to the list of animals I dislike
within my personal space/room at least.
Sweet dreams…

22:00 Did not
see anything in particular snorkelling again, but although I say this each and
every snorkel session I literally find to incredible to put into words, I love
duck-diving down and spending time among the fishes. Could easily do it for the rest of my
life.

I got some very nice photos today
too and managed to get out to the ‘left corner’ near the channelled passage
between the Pacific Ocean and this lagoon quickly at low tide. In this area you tend to see larger schools
of larger fish including Chubs, Snook and Dog Snappers, but it is also the area
that becomes wavy and bubbly first so not too often you can spend time here. I did get some good shallow tidepool photos though...

I spent some
time in the afternoon up at the lab, partly wasted but also partly not, and
then I collected wood with the German
guy for a fire. We ended up building a good looking fire before preparing some
onion, pepper, beef and tomatoes (instead of pineapple) for kebab sticks.
Most of the
way through the fire and meal I spotted at least 3 sets of yellow-eyed shadows
moving along the shoreline, hiding between rocks in the intertidal
tidepools. The wildlife was attracted to
the BBQ, we heard animals in the trees above us and then in the El Comedor a Racoon wandered on through before heading towards us. We sat/stood silently as the curious animal
walked right by our feet, hopped over the logs that surround the fire area,
then walked by the fire but apparently they prefer pineapple to tomato as well
as us and thus we never got a descent photo.
