Something must have been a best moment on the 9th but I can't remember what it was. To make up for that, I had two best moments on the 10th.
First, we went diving "out front" on "our" reef at Shacks. It was our friend Mac's birthday dive. The way diving has been this year, any dive almost automatically qualifies as a best moment.
One of the best moments in the best moment dive came right at the end. So near the end in fact, Mac and Darryl were already out of the water when I saw this very cool moon jelly fish (Aurelia aurita ).
Not only are they beautiful to watch in the wat er, they are also fascinating creatures. They pulse not so mush to move through the water as to stay near the surface where they feed. Otherwise they drift on currents. They are more active in the summer because they thrive in lower dissolved oxygen levels in the ocean typical of summer whereas other creatures are driven away to search for higher oxygen levels. Cool cool critters.
The second "best moment" of the day came in the afternoon. A friend of ours is now teaching Spanish classes on the deck at Ola Lola's. First yoga, now Spanish. Great stuff!
