Storms





Trying to get caught up on this trip report.

So, the tropical storm that had waited for us to have our big day was officially done waiting. The morning was cloudy and off and on sprinkling of rain, so, we hit the ocean for some snorkeling. Saw turtles almost right away, they pretty much hang out in a grassy area just beyond the moonrise beach bar, and it was just amazing to see them and cruise alongside them. We kept our distance, respecting their space, and never hovering over them. They need to be able to come up for air and we didn't want to frustrate or bother them, we just wanted to share their day for a bit and then push off to see what else was hanging around the reef.




By afternoon the dark clouds moved in, and we could see what was about to happen, so, we gathered our stuff and went back to the room to relax before lunch. The rest of the weekend was punctuated with rain here and there.
