Snorkel two: Mexico Rocks and Coco Something
In the afternoon we went out with "Joe" to a couple new snorkel sites. Visibility was just so-so, definitely not as good as Aquarium in Maui. These were both really shallow swims. I was hoping for something deeper so I could see how deep I can go. Oh well.
Angela has amazing eyes and spotted a bunch of smaller critters:
* A tiny blue shrimp
* Christmas tree worms
* An under-water stick bug looking thing
* Bunch of spiny star fish
* Sea urchins
* Conch
We also saw a barracuda and a small-ish ray. Actually, we've seen barracuda on every single dive and snorkel that we've done so far and I just haven't mentioned it. They're really fast and they don't let you get very close.
The challenging part of the trip was on the second stop we were navigating (in strong current) through a jungle-gym of coral rocks in 5' water. We made it through okay, but it was a little dicey.
Phrase of the day: "sea legs: the feeling that you are still on a boat after disembarking". Sea legs also means that you're good at standing on a pitching boat, but it's the former definition that applies right now.
