Just Another Saturday

We had a rough Saturday this weekend. For a change of pace, we decided to rent kayaks on base and kayak around the harbor. We spent the afternoon paddling out on the ocean, enjoying the sunshine and gorgeously clear waters! 
Heading out to open waters

Look how clear the waters are!


















Orote Point in the distance
We even jumped out and snorkeled for a bit before taking a mini break in a small cove/cave. We had to fight the wind to get back to our starting point. 
Snorkeling and holding onto the kayaks at the same time














Heading to a small cave.

Naptime!






Time to head back to home port.

Reminds me of an ad for REI or something












It was just a horrendous day!! We had to go out for sushi afterwards to make up for the horrid afternoon.

Diving, diving, and more diving!

Carlton and I have been taking advantage of his time off and trying to go diving when he has free time. So this past weekend we met up with a group at the dive shop. One of the dive master's takes people out every weekend for free. You just bring your gear to the shop and he decides right then where the dive will be depending on the conditions. This past Sunday is the first time we had a chance to join the group and the dive was at Outhouse Beach. It is a horrible name but the beach is very pretty!
The highlight of this dive was the Bubble Coral (which I had never heard of). It was pretty unusual and I am not sure we would have found it if we had not been with this group! This video that Carlton shot gets nice and close so you get a great view of the coral!


We had a great time and the diving is definitely making us more comfortable with all the gear and going out on our own! Here are more pics from the dive for you to enjoy!

Snorkeling Spanish Steps

Carlton and I are continuing to enjoy his free time here! Yesterday we went hiking and snorkeling with some good friends at Spanish Steps! It was beautiful and so fun! Enjoy the pictures!

The very top of the hike with a great view of the water!

There's my snorkel buddy!

Awww...coral in the shape of a heart!

A little blurry due to water on the lens but it looks like it's evening.



These were very curious fish! This one came within a couple inches of me several times.

Baby sea urchins

Again it's blurry because of water on the lens but cool rocks!

Sea Cucumber!

There's my handsome hubby!

Beautiful beach!

You can barely make out the moon
