~ After sailing for awhile, we stopped at
one point for an hour of snorkeling before continuing our trip, sailing along Cayo Paredon Grande. ~
| ~ LUNCH STOP ~ |
|
|
| ~ ANOTHER SMALLER CATAMARAN HAD PRECEDED US. ~ |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Here we stopped for more than an
hour, to have lunch and enjoy a swim and a short walk on the deserted beach. ~
Our lunch consisted (per person) of half of a large lobster tail,
lots of shrimp, green string beans and a nice white rice served with a delicious sweet'n sour tomato/shrimp sauce (whole shrimp
included). There was enough food to allow us second servings! We also had a yummy dessert!
Overall, the food was very good although
the lobster tails were slightly overdone.
(The lobster had obviously
been cooked early in the morning and was kept warm in the boat's oven until lunch time).

~ AFTER LUNCH, we started heading back to
Puerto Casasa, but stopped one more time for a 'very short' hour of snorkeling. This is when we took the following
photos, with our disposable FUJI underwater camera. ~

The photo below shows how shallow the coral reef was in
some places. At times, we had to be very careful not to get scratched.
Here I tried unsuccessfully to take a photo of the
needle fish swimming right at the surface of the water.

Overall, this trip was most enjoyable, so
peaceful and relaxing!
It was great spending the day
on the ocean and we truly enjoyed the lovely sailing ride. The boat wasn't crowded, and the Cuban
staff was so pleasant!
Only one comment here is that we found
the time allotted to snorkeling a little short.
