Bobbing along

Bobbing along, bobbing along on the bottom of the beauuuuutiful briiiiiiney sea!

Sandi came along on a marvelous snorkeling adventure with me this week. We bobbled along on Sunabe seawall. Above is a photo of us together, bobbling. Luckily the underwater camera was fixed, so we were able to have photo documentary of our journey.
To the left you see some things that we saw... a school of fishies over a garden of coral and a starfish hiding in a rock crevice.

As you can see, the water in Okinawa is incredibly clear. We had a bit of a crisis entering and exiting the ocean because some friendly fishermen had caught a lot of big fishies and cleaned them, then thrown the unneeded parts back into the water (this gives nutrients and whatnot back to the sea, but it also leaves dead giant fishie carcasses floating in guantlet of DEATH formation). Sandi almost didn't make it.

Yay, snorkeling! Sandi is leaving tomorrow morning, but I will have to tell some backlogged stories of our adventures here. Especially the one about my teachers forcing her to eat nattomaki.
