Yesterday, as indicated in the previous post, the activity du jour was snorkeling. With the benefit of Jan's go-fast dinghy we planned to broaden our snorkeling horizons somewhat, with hopes of finding even better snorkeling grounds. We tried the coral off of Carlos Rosario Beach and the northern end of Cayo Luis Peña. Unfortunately, though, neither locale beats the snorkeling we have found on other areas of the Canal de Luis Peña Marine Nature Reserve...



...so we returned to a mooring ball off of Tamarindo Grande Beach, and had a fine underwater excursion.

Your fish photos for the day include the school of Creole Wrasse shown in the lead photo. The three fish shown in the photo below are (clockwise from the top): French Grunt, Orangespotted Filefish, and a Yellowtail Damselfish Juvenile.

Although time in the water was enough activity to suit me for the day, the ladies decided to spend the latter portion of the afternoon in search of more sea glass. Don't tell them I said so, but their sea glass-collecting behavior borders on an addiction.

Daylight gave way to evening, where we were invited to dinner and dominoes aboard Irise. A Saturday night of good food and good times were enjoyed by all. Now it is morning and time to go to Mamacita's to enjoy Sunday breakfast with the other regulars in the harbor. Until next time, dear Reader.
