Local Snokelling

Damien from France had to do something within his two days stay with me. We walked the beaches on the first day and had a Kole kole fish bar-barque with the local fishermen by the sea. We arranged to do go snorkelling on the morrow.
Following morning we headed to the beach to meet Hamisi and his captain. The crew mounted the sail to start off our adventure. The wind drove the boat smoothly on the waters for about 45minutes. Hamisi would keep on directing captain Juma for a suitable area with features to see. The boat was steered to a stand-still, sail lowered and anchor dropped into the water. Both Damien and I put on snorkelling equipment jumped into the water. Wow! what a beautiful underwater life. We snorkelled for nearly one and a half hours but never had enough as it got more and more interesting watching the wonderful world.
We didn't do any fishing as exercise was more interesting. There are lots of different varieties of fish and coral reefs. The crew advised we sail out due to the upcoming bad weather. It was such good experience.
