Here, fishy-fishy

We made up for the days of ‘at home-ness’ during the week by being entirely out of the house almost all day. First on the list was Good News Club, after which the plan was to grab lunch in town before snorkeling. We made our way down to Pam and Geoff after a quick bit of shopping though and got stuck watching “The Princess Bride” which is about 20 years old. We all stood around watching, mouths gaping open in our slack TV faces. That eventually led to us staying on for lunch which was a far more companionable (and cheaper!) option than the Pink Flamingo. By 1 pm we were all ready for snorkeling. This was certainly the best swim we’ve had – the sun was almost directly overhead (and hot – we’re a bit burned) so the visibility was excellent. Nick and I swam a little further out where there were literally hundreds of little scavenger fish in a school. We had brought some bread with us which we scattered about while we were swimming and the fish came close – still not within nibbling distance, but it was a truly spectactular sight! Saw something quite a bit bigger as well on a shallow ledge around the corner of James’ Bay, but still can’t identify any names.

By 2.45 we were ready to leave. I dropped Nick off at Tammy for their regular Saturday afternoon practice, continued on home where the boys got changed and I sorted out all the swimming gear. Out again ten minutes later – I dropped the boys off at Tammy, then went back to Pam in town where I scrapped and she scanned photos in preparation for scrapping. I picked Nick and the boys up at 5.30 and we were home for supper, after which Nick washed the car.
