Here are some pictures from when I went snorkling and
spearfishing with the guys--at night:
We used flashlights and Hawaiian sling fish spears, which have a 3-pronged
spear at one end and an elastic band fastened to the other end,
which can be stretched and held and then released when pointed
at a fish so the spear will shoot forward up to 6 feet to spear the fish
you're going for. I missed several fish,
but with some practice, I got the hang of it.
I got one little red snapper--that was exciting!
Actually, I speared two, but one slipped off the stringer and got away.
The experienced fishermen got the rest of the catch!

Kesley glad to see the beach again!










The musicians











Me & the boys










The fishermen return!











Parrot fish, lobster, and octopus in the cooler:






















Here's a beautiful rainbow taken the next morning--actually
two rainbows, if you look closely--declaring God's glory and
His promise.










That's all for now. Until next time,
may God bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand,
-Charles

Great pictures!! That fish looks too pretty to eat. Spearfishing sounds like fun...but hard too! I'm sure you'll be a pro at it in no time, though. So did you eat the octopus? :)
So excited for you and the exotic adventures you're having there! Take care, Em

No, I didn't eat any of the catch-the guys gave it to the HBBI girls to eat-maybe next time I'll be able to join them!
