Postcard from the Reef - Gold Lace

Monday, February 8. 2010

Another Nudi! And one of the prettiest to be found in local waters at that. Upon going through I cave I will always carefully check the rubble to be found along the floor. This is one of the best places to find nudibranchs, and a close look will often reward the observant diver.

This time it was a species of nudibranch I knew was present on the Kona and Kohala Coast but had yet to find. The instant I saw it I knew what it was and yelled "Yes!", even with a regulator in my mouth. Photography ensues, as the other divers wait for me and wonder just what is worth all those camera flashes on the floor of a cave.

Arsenic and Gold Lace was a terrific movie.

Would that be truly classic 'Arsenic and Old Lace', the 1944 Cary Grant film?

Of course. I would think you'd be used to my deliberately idiotic comments by now.
