Sympathies, Melissa and we sure are missing your voice and your pictures.
Beautiful Vanda and the white catt is amazing, Ursula. I'm with you on the pale yellow noid Catt - Lindsey, didn't you get one of those for yourself too?
We're still in the Caymans and yesterday had an adventurous dive with a very friendly 5ft. nurse shark. Very fun, and the video is great. The reefs here (and all through the Caribbean and the Gulf) are infested with non-native lionfish which the dive masters are allowed to shoot with a small pronged spear. This shark has learned that divers are a source for free lionfish lunch! It arrived from behind me just as I was descending, swam past about a foot under me and scared the pants off me. Then it hung around for the whole dive following us like a dog. They're beautiful and graceful, and thankfully also have very small teeth.
