Mr. Clam

Say hello to Mr clam! I found him while snorkelling, like his afro?!?!!!

BZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!! Whoa! Fish on. We reeled in the lines and found that the lines of the rods had been tangled up in each other and each hook had a little skip jack tuna on them. Sadly, I had no time to get them in a photo.

Today we arrive in Fiji and I can’t wait to get ashore and see what it’s like! To be allowed in their country (Fiji has dozens of islands) we need permission, so we must answer questions or something like that. I don’t really understand what customs and that stuff is so I’m not a lot of help. This is what I want to do when we arrive… WHOOOO!!!!! HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

A shark at Minerva Reef,
Some pink coral I saw at Minerva Reef.

 

A few days ago, we were on a reef in the middle of nowhere called MINERVA REEF and we saw coral, a shark, and crays which we tried to catch. I took lots of pictures.

I was afraid of the shark even though he or she did not mind me that much. The crays had three different tastes, one tasted like nothing, one tasted sweet and one tasted so sweet that I could not eat it! Imagine that!

 

Ship wreck at Minerva Reef.

 

At Minerva there was also a shipwreck that we explored and pointed a lot at all the things we saw. There was a coral bommie (a clump of coral) close by so we explored and found crays everywhere, but we couldn’t get them all.

Goodbye for now, I’ll write more when I have seen more of Fiji.
