Rolled back into Philly late Sunday evening after what seemed like a very long day of hopping from San Salvador Island to Nassau then onto Charlotte and finally scooted home. Every time my plane lands that final stretch of runway & I walk out into good old Philly/ South Jersey air there is nothing quite like being home. I do love livin' in America & feel truly blessed to be in the land of the free and home of the brave.
I would have to say the Bahamian reef project was a great success that has allowed me to gain new insight into the critical nature of reef preservation along with being on the front lines of an epic restoration project. Being able to jump into the thick of things and be part of a project that will contribute to the environment for years to come is beyond epic. Reef replicas will lay at the bottom of the ocean's floor for years to come as a home to new coral & fish - so very cool.
The flora on the island was vibrant and abundant. Red, yellow, purple & yellow shades of flowers that were just awesome to look at. It's often easy to walk right by nature's canvas, but when you really open your eyes there is such beauty in color, shape and abundance of God's creation.
I'll post some more pics and a video or so when time permits. Already in the process of planning the next trip in August, but I'll fill in the gaps as the time grows nearer.
