My neighbor Kelley went for a snorkel and found a large area of Crown of Thorns invasion. So we went on a killing spree…. 25 !! We saw a lot of other nice fish and eels and such, too. It was a day of many squalls, and the heavy rain looked nice underwater. It didn’t seem to bother the fish at all.

- It did clear up at times. We came back in when the bucket was overfilled.
- All the COTS we murdered. (They are invasive and kill the reef, which is why we remove them).
