    After six or sixteen beers with Maureen, we hop on the boat. It feels good to be on the water.

    We were pretty quiet on the ride out to the reef. I just spent the time soaking up the sights and sounds.

    Once we arrive, we gear up and hop in. I try to do the super cool commando flip over backwards off the boat. I'm pretty sure i did not look super cool.

    Is that a canon in your pocket?

    Eventually, I found myself wrestling with my mask as it kept filling up with salt water and by now my eyes are burning. I am trying my best to stick it out but I am swallowing a lot of water here! I kept thinking wow, I must be the WORST snorkeler ever and Captain John will not be impressed with me. Seriously?! I am wearing a life vest and still drowning!

    +1 swims over to me and makes the comment, "Wow, i am swallowing a lot of water here. The seas have really picked up." Oh, good....it's not just me. So I officially take a look above the water. OMG! What happened? It was so nice when we jumped in....

    If you look just underneath the surface of the water on the left hand side of the pic, you can see the clear/white little blobs against the rocks. They were really tiny.

    We high tail it out of the water and back into the boat. Captain John was not impressed. I say it was just in time because it rained. Hard.

    Captain John offers to take us out to Booby Cay for food. We survey the weather situation. It doesn't look like it will improve anytime soon. I take into account that everything on my person and in my bag is soaked. Nope, we say. We'll just enjoy the rainy ride back to the beach, mon. Eventually, we happen upon someone in a kayak who's paddling fast towards shore. Wow, if we are soaked, I am kinda surprised he is still floating at this point. Maybe he has a bail bucket in that kayak. "Who's that?", I ask. Oh, that's the chef out at Booby Cay. LOL, I think we made the right choice!

    We stop off at the Red Stripe Catamaran to pick up the Captain and some fuel.

    Wow, great pictures! Actually, I kind of find it exciting when the weather changes up while snorkeling. Kind of tests your skills, so to say, and many times I realize that I may not be so good! LOL But, still, it is fun! We have had several trips with Vincent when the sea's rough up....and it is a challenge to maintain. Somehow you feel like Rocky if you do survive the wakes. Real exercise fi sure!!! After that, the trips back are always so tough. Cold, shaking, hungry, thirsty yet exhilarated! Then, you are searching like a starving creature to find food quick! It is always the best food you have ever tasted!!!

    Ras Rody's was our most recent stop after a tough snorkel trip. Boy, was it good! Thanks for all the wonderful photos that accompanied your report. Really helping me maintain until we reach. Much respect!!

    LOVED this entry especially the approaching storm pictures. I so enjoy the casual humorous vibe in your story telling. Looking forward to reading more.

    um tell me...is that captain John holding the gas can??? Do you have a frontal picture of his face...particularly that salt/pepper beard???
