Out of the blue this week, my wife said, "Take me snorkeling this weekend", so I did. Lisa has never been snorkeling before, and is generally apprehensive about swimming with sea critters, so I was a bit surprised with the request. I decided on St. Andrews, because it's hard to beat the kiddie pool for snorkeling around here.
Conditions were great. No current, the tiniest bit of surge near the rocks, and warm, clear water. The only down side was the crowd. Zero parking spaces, and half of Bay County on the beach and in the pool, but even with the crowds, it was a great day to be out on the water. Lisa surprised me with her willingness to get close to critters, and she was not at all startled by the bigger fish that passed us by (lookdowns and sheepies). We ended up snorkeling for almost two hours before heading back in.
Lisa really had a blast, and I won't be too amazed if she starts asking about scuba classes soon
