Santiago Island
Bright sun that could and would be hot if not for the cool breeze. Water temperatures enough to make one inhale abruptly, but with an extra outer skin of neoprene isn’t so bad at all. I stayed in almost 45 minutes this morning, puttering over the undersea walls of Bartholome Bay. A white-tipped reef shark moved in sensuous curves along the sandy bottom. Silver fish like bubbles of mercury swam micromillimeters below the surface. I tried to catch the effect with our video camera in its underwater housing, thrilled with the idea I could show this to others. Unfortunately the result was far from the real thing. No wonder I keep encouraging everyone to try out snorkeling as soon as they step onto the Polaris !
Later three sea lions came to loll in the shallows of the golden sand, to bask as much in the warm sunshine as in our admiration. Why is it we are irresistibly drawn to these jesters out of King Neptune’s Court?
