Be afraid, be very afraid of this year's land crab migration.

May want to rent a SUV next trip.

LC 2/2013. South side of the island, a lot of surge at the time. An underwater bouquet.

Peeking through. All those beautiful colors in those spur and groove formations can go unnoticed without a strobe. Cayman Brac, south side.

What is interesting is the feather duster worm hasn't retracted. Usually they don't like anything that close. Thanks for the pic.

LC 2/18/13. Not terribly colorful, but i love to see a healthy stand of staghorn (or is it elkhorn) coral.

Sergeant Major reef in front of the Divi had huge full chunk coral like that until 80's when Andrew went through and took out coral that must have been hundreds of years old. What a waste....but then not as bad as Klien Bonaire, that was a waste land after the hurricane surge.
