Snorkeling in Boracay

Hey Great Ones,

After a tropical storm washed Wednesday away we scored a beauty on Thursday.  So Eli, Elsie, and I rented a boat and captain who took us to three very good diving sites today.  Too bad I did not have an underwater camera, but the coral and sea life was amazing.  Lots of angel fish, big fish, little fish, crazy colored fish, and squid.  It was truly amazing.  After three hours of snorkeling we were pretty tired and crashed on the beach for the rest of the day.  Pretty tough life.

Love adios and peng on!

Eli, Dirk, Elsie ready to embark on our grand adventure.

The captain was probably 18, his first mate 12.  Our crew and boat did well.  We had to wear life jackets that did not fit.  After a while we said forget it.  No problem.

We found Nemo.  We found Nemo!  We are following Nemo.

Good night Boracay.
