On Wednesday, we went back to Wylie’s Baths to visit Smokey the cat and to go for a swim and snorkel. It was high tide, so there were lots of fish in the pool, as well as the usual anemones, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and shells. There’s a small octopus that lives in the pool, and I saw him!! His body is about the size of a grapefruit, with legs about 18-20 inches long. When he’s not being shy, he crawls around the bottom of the pool, trying to pry the sea snails and other crustaceans from their perches. It was fascinating to watch him. Here’s a less than flattering photo of me with my snorkel watching the world below. (Thanks, Tyrone, for the great swimsuit – I’ve been wearing it non-stop!!)
