i had told Christi at RMP that since it was my last week, i was 'turning in my whistle' :) ... but, since there were several Cruise Ships with 11,000+ people on Wed, that i wouldn't mind doing Beach Patrol ... i guess i really do enjoy interacting with people and the feeling that i can make a tiny bit of difference ....
so Oscar took me to West Bay ... i'm going to miss this beautiful beach and turquoise water...

it was a good day ... i talked to a lot of people.... in the water i made a point to also talk to the 'respectful' snorkelers who were standing on the sand ... thanking them, and asking for their help ....
i took a few fish photos along the way ...

| Queen AngelFish |
until a couple days ago, i'd never heard of, nor seen, this fish .... now i am seeing another one today ... strange: sometimes you don't notice something (if it's small, or uncolorful) until it's familiar to you ....

and these SharpNose PufferFish have been familiar to me for several years, but i've never seen them in the quantity that i've been seeing them the last couple of weeks ... it must be mating season for them ... ?

i saw the Huge Rainbow ParrotFish eating in the shallows, over top of the reef ...

he was so big and it was so shallow, that his fins were breaking the surface of the water ...

i was able to show him to a lot of snorkelers, who were very impressed :)
... i love how you can see a reverse reflection of the fish and coral in the surface of the water ABOVE him !!!!!!

when i got back to West End, i walked up to Sea Grape Resort to talk to them about going diving tomorrow with Suzanne .... now i am committed to do 2 dives :)
Suzanne and i went to the Thai Place for dinner ... they have a few tables right out on their dock over the water ....
