| WHATZIT??? photo: 2007 |
We arrived in Corral yesterday after a perfect trip sailing through the midnight hour in bright moonlight. Later today we'll make our way to our 'usual' spot at the dock in Valdivia where we'll be stopped for a few weeks before leaving for our trip across the Pacific - final destination: Victoria, Canada.
In sorting through the photos Larry took in 2007-9 and our current photos from 2017 in Patagonia, I discovered a possible link to a creature he photographed at Caleta Valverde in 2007. What do you think? Could it be?

| snail: buchanania onchidioides |
In any event, we discovered that this creature has a range that includes Puerto Profundo at the far southern end of our dive trips taken in 2017. Another snail inhabitant at Puerto Profundo was the buchanania onchidiodes. Here are some photos of new to us and surprisingly beautiful animals - the archidoris fontani nudibranch at Isla Amita and the the sea star
porania antarctica wearing bright new colours at Pozo Delfin divesite.
