    The bit about the bomies at the end almost made me cry when I think of what ocean warming is doing to the seascape. Thank you, Grace. We need to be told.

    I think you've got the award for the most clams in one video. They are so unusual, and they build themselves into the coral apparently. I'd like to see a long term view, slow motion video or something showing how this happens.

    You may have been delayed getting there, but it’s great to watch you enjoy the Pacific.❤

    I find, in the tropical Pacific, the goat fish regularly harass the octopus and give up their position. Sometimes the octopus get upset with the freeloading goat fish and punch them, which is hilarious to watch. 😋 Another great video.

    Your's is such great film art, Grace. Both above and below water! Thanks for taking me along. [Side notes: Bill starting fire with the torch; cracks me up. But it works well! And, the Sierra crab memory. That's a good one.] Fair wind, following seas, and MOST of all, good health, to you both.

    Your description of life on a bombie is beautiful and spot on. We spent a week (in 2014) in Benures Bay on Norman Island in the BVI. Every day I would snorkel the bay and often hover above this one coral head just watching the community go about its business. I loved it. Thank you for sharing the beauty.

    Y'all might consider getting a couple Hens on board for eggs, as well as a meat source once in a while. A bag a laying pellets to mix with there feed and you have eggs. :)

    Have you ever tried putting the camera on the bottom and swimming by? It could give us another perspective on what it's like to swim amongst the coral.

  • @brucerhodes8197
    @brucerhodes8197 3 месяца назад

    After watching the beautiful drone footage, I was wondering... moving from anchorage to anchorage inside an atol, if you couldn't just fly the drone to watch out for bommies, looking straight down you have so much less glare on the water. I liked how accommadating that octopus was, swimming out of the coral and giving you an excellent view!

    Do you carry dried eggs? Can use for baking. Also what about the grow light machines. You could have fresh lettuce or spinach.

  • @scyz2807
    @scyz2807 3 месяца назад +1

    No bomies hit. Yea! I love watching these situations because I sail in fresh water so no bomies to worry about. 8 - 0 But people have told me that you can hit large floating logs. I've never seen one or hit one, so they must be rare. My sailboat has a retractable keel so if something were to hit it, it could just swing backwards a bit. I don't worry very much about such things. And my 20 ft boat is not likely to get anywhere close to salt water bomies. : - )
