Our second day in a row for snorkeling was even better
than the first. The dive boat had fewer
people, even though the weather was better.
Sue’s mask actually fit, so she wasn’t sniffing in half the ocean water. There seemed to be many more different types
of reef fish to admire. The captain of
the tour boat was feeding the fish, so when we swam into the circling fish,
they were so numerous that they seemed to bump into you as you floated on
top. Many times, the fish were within
arms’ reach, but they were still quicker than my attempt to grab them. The coral rocks and caves were amazing, with
underwater visibility 100’+. Did I say
that we had another great time?!?
When we returned to the boat, our neighbor in front of
us was cracking open a coconut which had fallen from one of the many coconut
palm trees around here. So Sue went over
& had some fresh coconut milk & meat.
“We’re not in Kansas any more, Toto.”
We’re setting sail tomorrow for 4-day trip to Miami
& then points north along the ICW. Good
thing I read the USCG Notice to Mariners, because just north of Fort
Lauderdale, the ICW is totally closed for a new bridge construction. We’ll have to wait for good weather and then
go on the outside to the next inlet to the ICW
Should feel good getting back into cruising.
