A Morning Snorkel in the
Middle of the Lagoon
After breakfast Bear whipped out his
IPad and told me that the lagoon measures just over four miles by just over
three. It was time to go for a spuddle in Baby Beez to the middle as the ladies
last night told us of a coral garden that was well worth a visit. Off we went
and after a little searching, found the shallower pale blue with visible coral
area in the vast, deep blueness. Other than just around the edge and just here
the rest of the lagoon has an average depth of around a hundred feet. Baby Beez
anchor set, it was time to explore. Immediately we were struck by the clear
water and huge area of coral in front of us. This was
going to be good methinks.
The colours
were gorgeous, if a little unreal.
The size – to give you an idea, this lump was six feet high by about eight feet. Quite something up close.
Very busy with
chaps.
The shapes
looked like sculptures.
Everywhere we looked healthy, thriving coral.
ALL IN ALL SO GOOD TO SEE SO
MUCH VARIETY
BEAUTIFUL |
