Saturday, June 19th

Beautiful day on the reef today.  Absolutely no current on Molasses.  The wind was blowing a little over 10mph out of the Southeast, so it was a little choppy but not too bad. Visibility was good and the water temperature was in the upper 80s.. Overall an excellent day on the water.

Found this guy up under a ledge. he wasn't that concerned with me taking his picture. Usually they head back up into their holes when you start getting close to them.

Channel Clinging Crab

Blenny - Probably a Saddled Blenny

Couple Christmas Tree Worms on a Brain Coral

Eagle Rays
The Eagle Rays came up near the end of the dive, I was able to swim around with them for a while. They were actually doing circles right around the area I was in. Near the end I approached a little too close I guess, one of them came right at me (the short tailed fellow) and the other 2 swam away as did the one that came straight at me.  Pretty cool.
