Snorkeling at Lac Bay






Carolyn has really enjoyed snorkeling while here. It is amazing how much activity there is in shallow water. Even the really little fish, corals, and sponges are colorful and fun to watch. Lac Bay is a huge ahallow bay on the east side of the island. It's about 3 miles wide and 1.5 miles deep. Lots of it isn't over waist deep. Several windsurfing businesses are located there. The wind is always blowing there.

Carolyn and I went over last Sunday with snorkel gear and walked out to the breakers--where the bay meets the ocean. It's about a 3/4 mile wade. We snorkeled for over an hour. It was well worth the walk. The blazing orange/brown color on the branching vase sponge is one I haven't seen. Of course anemone are always cool.
