Snorkling at Mermaid Reef

We, Ron, Natalie, Tom and I  headed back to Marsh Harbor and the marina Friday morning. The sea was a bit choppy but not uncomfortable. I was so glad that we had a great ride over on Thursday. Ron and Natalie really enjoyed watching the bottom for sea life on our way over but you couldn't see the bottom today because of the waves.  Once tied up at the marina we had some lunch and headed across the harbor by dingy to Marsh Harbor marina. We tied up at the dingy dock and walked down the road to a little bay where we snorkled out to the reef. Tom spotted a beautiful star fish which I took several photos of. We also saw lots of plants and fish but no colored coral to speak of.  It was recommended that we take bread to feed the fish but we forgot it. Once close to the reef it was apparent that the fish were expecting lunch. They swam around us and I actually had 5 or 6 needle nose swim up to my goggles. Ron found a few sea biscuits,(a biscuit shaped sand dollar), which I was very excited about.  Following a couple of hours of snorkling we walked back to the Marina and had a drink at the jib room. Ron and Natalies last dinner with us was lobster pieces with veggies grilled.  A great week of activities and fun. So glad they came. Saturday morning they headed out for the airport at 6:00.
