Lost a couple of days blog, working too hard! Went into Nassau with DJ, found the aquarium shop where it had a notice not to leave your fish in the car as you might boil them! Coffee at Starbucks and then on to the airport to extend the car hire by a couple of days. When I got back to Stuarts Cove diving, Peter Scoones was there helping Mike to get the HD camera working. They all went off diving me and  Peter chatting over a veggie burger. He told me the story of how he filmed the Coelocanth in the harbour of the Comoros islands for life on earth. Apparently he had been filming a volcanic eruption, and got back to his hotel at around 3.am. Before being abl;e to sleep someone rushed into the hotel saying that there was a live Coelocanth in the harbour. As I am sure you all know the Coelocanth has been dubbed a living fossil from the age of Dinosaurs. This is because it belongs to a family of fish call the Crossopteridgia, which were considered to have become extinct at the end of the Mesozoic era. So 65 million years later stories emerged of fishermen in the comoros island catching a bizarre type of fish in their nets, and the first time these were examined by a biologist they wre amazed to find themselves in the presence of a denizen from ancient times. Back to the story and Peter only has 3and a half minutes of film left in his 16mm camera. He jumps into the harbour and finds that the fish which id=s about 2 metres in length has been wrapped in chains beneath a group of boats. He decides to free it and although it is alive it is very weak, he wanted to lead it into open water for filming by holding its lobe fins, but sadly the chains had cut into them, so he carefully  holds the mouth, at which point it bit him! Probably the first and last person to ever be bitten by a Coelocanth, as we will probably be extinct before them! The rest is history as people around the globe saw for the first time a living Coelocanth in Attenboroughs "life on earth."
