The resort is on Alphonse Island (top in the photo). The fishing is on the
flats of St. Francois Island (bottom). Both are coral atolls. In between
them is the small island of Bijoutier.


Looks like a spectacular trip Steve,

Thanks for sharing,
JT

Just wondering -- did you guys see the videos? Did they work?

Saw the one with Mike landing a small bone, but the naration really
sucked. d;o)

The tortoise one wouldn't download, probably because of the slow
service we have here in the mountains.

Great photography.

They worked for me, took a bit to download but good video.
How tall was the tortoise at the top of the shell?
The fishing video puts my mind to dreaming...

Thanks,

I'd guess it was almost three feet tall. It was freaking enormous.

Finally down-loaded the tortoise vid. Cool. Here is some info on
them. Pretty big AND old. Some have lived more than 200 years.

Oooooops. Forgot the link

Awesome. Do you have a blog? It would be great to put this all
together as a pictorial with the text. I would love to hook into one
of those "geet."

I have a web site (where the photos are) but I don't have at the moment
have software to create a "blog." Maybe I'll look into that.

Lunch on the water. Back to Alphonse at 5:30. Shower, take care of gear,
dinner at 7:00, back to the chalet at 9:00, set alarm, crash, repeat. No
down time for snorkeling and lying about

I have a couple of questions for you, rw, about this trip:

How were the accomodations?
Seems world class ??

(I ask becuse if they have a spa and other activities I could convince SWMBO
& I will run this trip by her)

It has to be warmer than Montana in Winter


Did you book this trip yourself or thru an outfoitter?

Did you shoot the fotos and video for yourself? or for a website or
publication?

Again thanks for sharing this "great" trip and congratulations on a great
trip
