I just added a new blog post with a gallery of tropical creatures I have found in New England waters! It was a lot of fun going through the images and collecting them for this post. I will continue to add to it over time as I find more.

Kind of a quiet dive on October 11 at Folly Cove. We entered around mid-tide with no issues due to sand covering all of the tricky rocks. We saw some gunnels, a striper carcass being cleaned up crabs and lobsters, a few pipefish, and a puffer who was NOT interested in being photographed. Water temps were just fine, but the air + wind were chilly, so it's officially dry suit season for me.

On a bit of a Tom Waits kick lately.

This is not my best image of a spotfin butterflyfish, but this little tropical friend was all the way up here in New England! Tropical fish larva get swept up the east coast of the United States by the Gulf Stream and some land here in New England. We tend to see them in late summer and fall before the water gets too cold and they die. This was one of two spotted on a night dive at Folly Cove in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
