I do find these quite regular. Too big for the saw, so curiosity got the best of me. I shouldn't, but did. kap found a bigger one yesterday. Their buddy has a 36 inch saw. Can't wait to see that one sawn. About basketball sized whole head  'Dissected' the top level  Bottom level dissected  Top of limestone bedrock. Hard to walk on, very slick and very sharp.  |

The treasonous coral pirate kap and his first mate snorkeling up some coral at a shallow spot yesterday. Their boat returned with the gunnels 3 inches out of the water. I could have sunk them over one of the deep pools by passing them on the return and making a wake. A sunken treasure for future recovery. They bought me Mexican dinner so I spared them. They stayed at this spot from 8AM to 4PM. Tough kids.   They were the best of company. I snuck down to the next shoal 300 yards down and capitalized on bout 40 pounds of broke botryoids. Here is about half of them. Fun to tumble  |

It's always a pleasure to open up a ho-hum and discover it is really cool. Love all those bots. Lots of variety there. Thanks for the show.
Yes, a Mexican dinner… : )

Keith will fair well with the big geodes he found. They should be highly marketable after being sawn. His friend has a 36 inch saw now that will cut those big ones; bet he will get some good money out of them sawn. I think they took advantage of the shade from the trees to an extent. Stay out in the middle of the river early in the day, move under the trees as the sun starts to cook. Snorkeling keeps the weight off your legs and keeps you from getting as tired. I had a 2 hour thunderstorm park over me the day before they arrived. Bucket had 2.5 inches of water in it. Had to bale the boat out. I froze till I got in the river. I could see blue sky in 4 directions, darn cloud just parked over me to punish. |

It's been downright hot and humid since it's rained, hasn't it? Thought we were going to melt (literally) after working in our yard on Monday. Sweat hawg weather. I'm glad kap and his friend were in the shade, and looking forward to seeing their monsta corals. |
