Day 181, February 7th, 2010
Its too nice in Tarpon Basin. We decided to stay. Sharon and I walked up to the Park again and signed up with the Snorkelling Tour. We took a boat out to the 8 miles reef and went snorkelling there. There were about 10 others. Two couples from England - 1 from London and the other from Kent but he had relatives in Bury St. Edmunds, close to my home town!!!
It was good to chat with them en route. Sharon and I both rented shorty wet suits when we heard about the jelly fish. Ahhh! Memories of jelly fish bites on the River Deben when I was a child. No thanks!! The wet suit was great!! The reef itself was not especially colourful but the fish were amazing. Huge baracuda, bright blue tangs and parrot fish, schools of yellow grunts and lots of angel fish. There were lots of others too, that I recognised from the video in the information building but I couldn't remember their names. It was really wonderful. On the way back Sharon and I rode up top in the Pilot House and chatted with the skipper and his pal.
It was well worth the money.
Meanwhile the poor guys had tramped it up to Divers Direct again, this time to buy the weights!!
Poor John had blisters all over his poor feet and the 10 lbs. of weights got heavier and heavier all the way back!!
