Honeymoon Day 4

On the fourth day of our honeymoon, my husband and I visited the windward side of the Oahu to go snorkeling in Kaneohe Bay. The day was quite chilly - maybe around 60 degrees - and windy. As you can see from the photos, we didn't have much sun either. When we boarded the boat, the captain and his shipmates were wearing jackets and pants. Our tour group thought out loud "That's what they're wearing and they expect us to put on bathing suits and get in the water?" We had a group of great sports and everyone made it in!

The first half of the trip was spent on a sandbar practicing with the snorkeling equipment. The water was only one to three feet deep, so it was a great place to just focus on breathing and not inhaling water before we headed out to the coral reefs. A volleyball net was set up and everyone had a good time goofing around after practicing. Before heading to deeper water, the crew grilled burgers for us and we had a delicious lunch. (Best fruit cocktail I've ever had!)

The second half of the trip was spent out in deeper water (around 30 feet deep) where we could view coral reefs and animals living in the area. Unfortunately, turtles are shy so we didn't get to see any of them but there were plenty of colorful fish and the coral was beautiful. The afternoon was so much fun and I cannot wait to go snorkeling again!
