GAM ISLAND, FRIWINBONDA ISLAND

| Sunny morning beach walk |
To Friwinbonda Island this morning after Gam - the days run together. I woke up with enough sleep in the tank, a little morning rain, then two great
sun-blessed snorkels in very warm water. Many in the group saw a dugong (an unusual sighting of a sea cow-type creature. I
contented myself with photos of the fabulous coral – so many kinds, the most
colorful multitudinous plentiful displays I think I’ll ever see. And the fish sightings continued to be extra-orddinary finds for me.

| Blackbelly picassofish (triggerfish) |
 |
| Can you spot it? |
This was fantastic for me - it is a cuttlefish, leisurely proceeding across the reef. It changed color to hide and confuse predators within a second.
Finally he gave up his flirtation with me and swam away with surprising acceleration and speed.
