No Scuba, Still Snorkeling

We had a late start to our day. Instead of the ReefCI people picking us up at 9, they picked us up at 10. Then, instead of going to the snack shack, we arrived at a boat dock. We met the owner of the dock, an iguana.

It took a while to load the boat, but we finally got going. This week, we have three new ReefCI guests, substituting the three that left last week. There is a couple from Croatia/Lower Slovenia and a women from California.

Even though from the docks the sea looked calm, but on the boat, a short way from land, the water got really choppy. It was like we were riding a roller coaster. The front of the boat would ride high out of the water and slam down, spraying everyone, but the people in the back, us, definitely got sprayed the most. Both of our fronts and backs were drenched and LuRue's hair was like she just took a shower. Montana's hair was like a rat made a home in it. It was about a two hour boat ride.

About an hour after we got back and settled again, we went out for a snorkel. The sea was pretty choppy and water kept leaking into Montana's snorkel. However, there was lots to see. The best viewing was, by far, the queen angelfish.

















Everyone is settled into their old routine's from last week. Isn't it nice to get back into our wet bathing suits and wear it around all day!?! The new comers are being introduced to the history and philosophy of ReefCI.

  1. I hope the weather improves so you can snorkel and scuba. Montana, are you wearing your hair in braids so it doesn't get so wild and stays out of the way? Might help some. Have fun this week. Glad the computer is still working.

  2. That's a beautiful fish! Glad you got out some. Did you get to see that sand dollar move? When it poops, does it leave change behind?

  3. This Queen Angelfish photo is great. Just learned that they get their royal title from the speckled, blue-ringed black spot on their heads that resembles a crown.
