First full day on island

First full day on island - 10/31/2023 01:47 AM

I am sending some pictures taken this morning while the clarity isn’t the best. The clarity of the water was much better than expected since the weather after the hurricane hasn’t been good. The first picture is of he beach at Simpson Bay Resort and there were no rocks on the beach for the first time in years. It was taken at 7:30 AM. On a disappointed note is that most of the elk horn corral are bleached out much worse that last year.

All coral species are taking a hit worldwide. Warming sea temperatures and pollution run off are main factors.

Beach looks lovely. Hopefully the water will clear up for you.
