	Maho Bay, east side reef. This is the closest beach to Creolla. Actually, this is a picture of the reef on the east side. Imagine your usual white coral sand beach stretching off behind the photographer. We got here at about 5:30 and had a magical sunset snorkel (yes, the sun really does set before 7pm!). Much nicer than the Salt Pond expedition earlier - calmer water, fewer rocks, better viewing and no long hot walk!
	Richard snorkeling at Maho Beach He's following an enormous school of shiny little neon fry, the basis for the non-coral-based food chain in these parts.
	Bar jacks, thundering to the right They're following that huge school of bait fish too.
	Bar Jacks thundering back to the left They can do this all day.
	Neon fry at Maho Bay It's hard to capture the magic of swimming through a cloud of these little fish with a still picture, but here's my best effort.
	Underwater still life, Maho Bay I don't understand why some of my underwater pictures have that strange reflection, but in this picture it looks kind of cool.
