Morning Troops!
Hope you all had a wonderful May 24 holiday, doing what you like best with who you like best! Yes, the weather could have been a little better, but it also could have been a lot worse..
Here is what’s coming up in Bermuda:
Chic waterside lounge, The Dock at Waterlot, reopened for another fabulous season on Friday, May 20th.

BUEI Talks are screening Ocean Vet Episode 7: Black Grouper on Thursday, May 26th.
In this episode, Neil combines his veterinary knowledge and dive skills to assist the Bermuda department of fisheries on an exciting and dangerous mission to protect the breeding grounds of the Bermuda black grouper. Watch Neil anaesthetise these fish and surgically implant acoustic tags before testing a dangerous but less invasive grouper tagging system.
Follow Neil and the team as they explore the deep alien world of the grouper breeding grounds and come face to face with one of the biggest threats to the Atlantic ecosystem, the invasive lionfish! The lecture will start in the Tradewinds Auditorium at 7.30pm on each evening. Harbourfront are offering a 10% discount (food only) to anyone dining there before or after the event.
