Last weekend, Phil and I finally got to show Kevin the reefs at Honeymoon Cove/Resort Point. Thankfully, conditions were good for Kevin's first dunk since April, and his partially healed knee didn't complain too much about the exertion. Nice to see schools of fish over these reefs.

As I recall, Honeymoon cove is the first site where we've seen these faint pink serpulid worms.

Lythrypnus zebra, zebra goby. First time I've been able to get even remotely close to one. I'll bet we can find it on the same sponge next weekend.
