But I don't recall it being in good shape. I recently went out on the horseshoe reef with Sherwin at team work charters. I made a ttol posting on that. The parts of the horseshoe reef we swam on appeared to be in good shape. The thought that so much damage can occur so rapidly is shocking. I love the diving and snorkling in the bvi. The risks that this ecosystem faces is almost beyond comprehension. To AARPskier, Your welcome. Last edited by warren460; 08/27/2017 10:32 PM.

We really could not find anything interesting on the North Shore. I think a lot of the reef damage is also storm damage on Anegada added to the bleaching issues. At that point, we did not have the GPS waypoint for the wreck far out on Horseshoe reef, so we did not go. Mike
