Competition and more stories


Every morning on the beach , the tide would go right out towards the coral reef, leaving a collection of tide pools that needed to be explored. We set off one morning and these two fellows attached themselves to us, we didn't really want guides, but once again they were so friendly and found us so many interesting creatures to see that by the end of the walk we had warmed to them completely, Gerald even gave them an armful of vests! The creature that you can see in the photo is a sea urchin, they have one eye that moves around in all directions and apparently they are luminous at night. I had the fortune to stand on one of them, it was like standing on a porcupine, I have only removed the last spine from my foot yesterday, it was so sore. I don't know how we would have negotiated our way round the pools without our friends because there was lots of treacherous , sharp coral around too, but they seemed to know the right way to go. They took great delight in finding us loads of other interesting specimens to look at, like sea anemones, living conch shells, sand crabs, sea cucumbers and numerous other little fishes. By the time we had finished , we had ended up spending the whole morning out there, returning all sweaty and limping!!
OK folks, here is our competition question, the first five correct answers win a free download of 'Yours'. We will announce all the winners tomorrow.
What kind of boat did we sail on to Wasini Island?
Good luck xx
