Here we go a snorkeling ...

Sunny and 76.
No cell service here. I paid for 24 hours of WiFi service, but I still don’t have any service. Money wasted.

We drove around in the dinghy with a hand drawn type map looking for coral reefs to snorkel. One reef we didn’t find (they are small). Another larger reef area had a strong current running through it, so we decided to skip it. On the way back, we drove by a black spot of water, and stopped to check it out. Nice little reef, nice snorkeling experience. For this stop, Roger put Vaseline on his mustache to get a better seal and therefore less water up his nose, so our second snorkel stop was much more enjoyable for him.

The mooring field filled up this afternoon, with the front due in tonight. Around 1:30, a parade of boats came heading in from the banks. There appear to be at least three or four catamarans full of college students traveling as a group. Spring Break, maybe? Our quiet, secluded anchorage is no more.

The blog photo shows the pile of driftwood cruisers drag up Boo Boo Hill to appease the shipwrecked ghosts.
