Here she is, 20BUCK$ tied to a mooring
ball on Sombrero Reef! If you remember last time my under water camera
lacked working batteries so I couldn’t get a picture of her moored for
snorkeling. I know my dive friends are loving the dive flag!!! State
law in Florida requires you fly a dive flag whether snorkeling or
diving! It is once again a beautiful day in Marathon, temperatures in
the 80’s and a nice breeze. When you look out at the ocean, it looks
like relatively calm seas but once on the mooring ball we were bouncing
up and down quite a bit!
The water
was warm and the visibility was clear! Greg from “Lady in Red” went
with us this time. Donna stayed back to wait for friends who were
coming to visit from NC. We had a wonderful time and I was able to get
some pretty good pictures. These our especially posted for our friend
Phil who loves snorkeling! Enjoy!
This little turtle swam with us for the longest time! He surfaced, hung out on the surface
right next to Ken, then dove back down! It was almost like he was
posing for photos!
The waters were full of many different fish. Some in the pictures are
yellow tails, parrot fish but we also saw file fish, angel fish,
barracuda, butterfly fish, trunk fish etc. The picture below is a
parrot fish!
Soon it was time to swim back to the boat and head back to the marina. What a wonderful day!
We hope to get back out again before we
leave here. We have to watch the weather and make sure it isn’t too
rough! Each day we check the wind and the wave height and if all is
good we cast off for a day of swimming with the fishies!
Thanks for coming along! Pat
