Hi Helen,
     How's the weather in Quebec.  Right now it looks as if we may or
may not be getting a blizzard today amidst the first cold spell.  Not
too bad but none of my buddies want to dive at the moment.
   I,m trying to remember the original letter that you wrote butif my
memory serves it would seem that you saw this fish at two lights in Cape
Elizabeth, Maine or thereabouts.  That perticular cove was one of my
favorite dive locations when I lived in the greater Portland area a few
years back and certainly has had more than its share of various aquatic
wildlife, compared to the likelihood of such variety in many other sites
in the area, probably due to the shelter in the cove and the submerged
ledge that runs out from the mouth of the cove.
     Although I have never seen one in a blue color the fish you may
have described might be a wolf eel or wolf fish, depending on which
locale you come from.  Ordinarily they come in anything from a steel
grey to a muddy brown color.  That's the only thing that I can think of
that I've seen at that particular spot that sounds right.
     If it was a wolf fish that you saw it is certainly something that I
probably wouldn't touch.  They are generally more than willing to keep
there distance from you but we have run across several who behaved
teritorially and adopted threatening postures to keep us out of their
"spot".  In low visability in particular they seem to be assertive of
their space.  Although I have not actually seen one Lš˛\oř
