Thanksgiving-Snorkeling

One of the perks of working as a volunteer on an island run by the US Fish and Wildlife Service is that everyone takes the holidays off and goes out and plays.

Thursday was Thanksgiving, so naturally we all went for a snorkel.

It was gorgeous day.

Brette, Erika, and Katie, three fellow volunteers sitting on the boat as we head out our snorkel site. Because it was a US government vessel, they are very strict about life jackets.

The spinner dolphins swam along side our boat.

The snorkeling was beautiful. Huge schools of convict tang.

Lavender rice corals.

Large red pencil urchins.

I had a fantastic time. The water was a bit chilly though; note the wet suit.
