Snorkel off Rowa Island, The
Moluccas Province
   We left Beez at nine, picked up Gary
and Bev (Wirraway), found our chaps at the dock and waited the few
minutes it took for John and Catherine (Afar VI), Sandra, Paul and Adam
(Serica) and John from Hybreasail, our drivers and guide to
form a merry bunch, about to enjoy a day out away from festivities and chores –
first stop, drift snorkelling off Rowa Island. Whilst we saw nothing spectacular
(sadly no Nemo), we enjoyed a few new species of coral and fish, that either
skittered away to hide or almost got into our masks, demanding to be
photographed. There were the usual photo-bombers, the
‘what-I-lack-in-colour-I’ll-make-up-for-in-attitude’ and the downright cute.
What we saw was healthy - amongst the dead, fallen and new growth in water that
was crystal clear and warm enough to enjoy staying in for ages. No sooner we
left the panga, we were in a coral garden with masses
to see. The clams were beautifully coloured, we only saw one worm, one Christmas
worm but plenty of casual blue starfish. Enjoy.
                                           ALL IN ALL WARM WATER SO LOTS
OF TIME TO ENJOY
WONDERFUL TO BE IN WARM WATER AND SEE SO MANY
