I went snorkeling in the early afternoon today. Been a little stressed over my son’s girfriends’ passport situation.

More about the snorkel in a moment. I just got back, had my shower, and feel so unbelievably relaxed, just like I had a massage. Relaxing in repose while visions of clear turquoise water with fish and other graceful creatures still swimming in my minds eye.

About the snorkel, lots of seaweed have washed up on the shore and in is the water for a few feet. It affect did affect the visibility a bit, I think.

Here in PM the reef is close, there are boats that take you out to the reef, with a captain and an underwater guide. He leads the swim/snorkel quite briskly, I must say. I was taking underwater pictures  so kept falling behind. Then had to swim hard to catch up. I like to daughtle when I snorkel and take pics. When you swim up, the fish slither into their holes. if you just relax and float for a few seconds they swim back out and you got your picture. However, this snorkel was more like shoot and swim. I plan to find the guy we used last time I was here, I looked but couldn’t find him today. Just went with one of the guys that were hawking the snorkel trips.
