We went to Haulover North to try and snorkel the sea fan garden that is offshore there. We encountered a yellow crested night heron on the walk to the beach
Sargassum along the shore, but we decided to try anyway.
Unfortunately the visibility was terrible. There was lots of decaying sargassum on the sea floor and the particles were breaking up into the water. We swam really far out but could not get a clear look. We are going to come back this summer when we have a boat captain for the family group. They can drop us further offshore than we can safely swim. We don't tend to hire captains when it's just the two of us.
We went over to Haulover South across the street, which was clear, but not as interesting. Baby squid
I usually spend my time snorkeling at this location looking at the various corals and encrusting sponges. I find their colors and patterns fascinating.
Back to pool beach for an Irie Pop.
Then into town for sunset and dinner. Neither of us wanted a big meal so we went to Longboard. Menu
Drinks. Husband had a frozen blood orange margarita and I had a mocktail made with hibiscus tea and orange
We shared the St. Thomas sushi wrap
and a couple of fish tacos
We went to St. John scoops for dessert. I had mint chocolate chip and he had toasted coconut in a waffle cone.
