Hey guys
We are deep into the project now...
any idea where the donations went?
Dave at campaign central says nothing came in.
We have found blue tangs off the front of the harbor in Port Moresby and a new epaulette shark for the aquarium trade.
As I inspected it closely, it bit me on the rubber nosepiece and would not let go.
I was afraid of injuring it so it hung on there for about 15 minutes.
I got it off by just getting into the boat and letting it hang there ...in the air.
The bite was like visegrips....and surprising for so small a shark.
They are locally common and we see them every day.
The blue tang in 10 feet of water was a hilight and so near town!
The country is huge so this is a good sign.
I collected 2 with just hand and glove.
