You've got a great sense of humour and I can always be guaranteed a few laughs while reading what's been going on in your lives. The photos were spectacular (as usual). La Gringa did a fantastic job of catching you and Preacher hovering over the stalled motor. I laughed so heartily at those photos.

This gives us an excuse to go find some lionfish to photograph out on the reef, to see how they blend in with the native stuff. Thailand underwater is a lot darker.

Maybe the coral is just much darker? I never saw one the past nine months we lived in the USVI, but I saw a ton off Negril, Jamaica in July! Lots of little babies too!
