The Intrepid Snorkeller, Turks and Caicos, Feb. 13, 2012

Grey skies and strong winds prevail. Smith's Reef was not inviting. Ian wasn't sure if he wanted to go in which is rare for him. I knew for sure that I was not! Well, when Ian spotted three snorkellers braving the conditions he wasn't about to be shown up so in he went. Ian, the intrepid snorkeller reported that it was a bumpy ride with poor visibility but he did get to swim with two eagle rays. I was happy to sit on the beach which I had to myself.

Grey Trigger Fish

This afternoon for wont of nothing better to do I went snorkelling with Ian at The Bight. The conditions under the water reminded me of a snowstorm but instead of snow there was sand drifting on to the coral and in my face, reducing visibility. The fish didn't look very comfortable. The only highlight was a couple of trigger fish, one being a grey one. It was a very tiring snorkel and a long walk home. We stopped at the convenience store. I ate a Snicker's Bar and that made the trek all worth while. There really isn't anything like chocolate to make you feel good!
