Bali Day2 - April 27th

Well, not even Bryce Harper hits a home run every at bat; and today was a mediocre diving day. Warm water but poor visibility, only 10 to 15 feet at best and lots of debris stirred up by current, tidal surge, and rain this morning. Had to work against currents and surges to stay togerher.

 The fish weren’t real exciting

 Neither was the coral

 Should have joined everyone else para-sailing

 Did get a picture from the dive boat of the Oceania Insignia docked at the cruise terminal

Also got a picture of the Sun Princess anchored in the harbor. Too big to dock at the terminal, she had to tender her passengers to shore. 2000 passengers vs. our 650.

Rather than snorkeling, Joani made a good and prescient decision to go to a local Bali spa with friends Tanya and Drew for a three hour program that included a body massage, body scrub, hot stones, scalp massage, manicure and pedicure. Joani is relaxed and feeling fine and ready for Happy Hour.

Tomorrow: the Indonesian island of Komodo, where we of course hope to see Komodo dragons.


PS: The divemaster identified some of my "really cool colored fish and corals" from Kota Kinabalu:

 Table coral (acropora)

 Blue starfish (duh)

 Clownfish

Nemo Clownfish (since the movie)
