This morning we swam ashore and climbed up to the top of the hill to see the ruins of yet another old fort and an old attempt to build a resort on the island. We then went snorkeling. Apart from the regular denizens I managed to spot a green moray. Helen spotted the most amazing fish. It was grubbing along the bottom and coloured similar to the sand. It was about 9 inches to a foot long. It had two pairs of side fins. With the forward pair it was rummaging through the sand – almost as if they were arms. The second, rear pair, were as almost as big as the fish itself. When spread out they looked like wings with blue edges. Maybe it was a flying fish but I didn’t know they were bottom dwellers. Anyone who knows what this was, please let us know. Unfortunately we didn’t have the camera along with us to take pics underwater but we have some of the walk.
