The more we travel, the more we learn how the world's plants and animals both vary and overlap from one region to another.  And we're coming to recognize similar habitat from one part of the world to another -- thereby knowing what sorts of plants or animals to look for.  Our boat has a mini-library of reference books, many having to do with nature, both above- and underwater.  Chris and Jon are now major contributors to flora and fauna pages -- specifically Underwater Flora and Fauna begun in French Polynesia when we got our Canon A80 digital camera and underwater housing.  The digital camera is a superb tool, allowing us to take and re-take tricky shots of marine life.

You can get a sense of the environments we're traveling through by checking out the Flora and Fauna pages for the West Indies, Venezuela, South West Caribbean, Galapagos, French Polynesia, Tonga and Fiji, and now Australia.  We wish we had photos of all the wonderful flora and fauna that we see (and hear), but we don't -- so we hope you enjoy this partial view of the plants and animals that we've encountered while cruising.
