Snorkel trip

Sunday afternoon we had a memorable snorkel trip. The seal researchers had some work they needed to accomplish on the Ginns so several of us tagged along. We worked for about an hour on Little Ginn and then snorkeled for a short time on Ginn Spit. We then left that area and motored toward Trig and Whale-Skate. Much of this area is covered with breakers and coral heads so it was slow going threading our way through small channels between the coral outcroppings. We anchored in an area about 20 feet deep with a sand bottom and numerous coral outcroppings. The snorkeling was very good. These areas are seldom, if ever, visited and the coral is pristine. There were many fish and other organisms to look at and we all had a good swim. It is late enough in my stay here I'm beginning to wonder which of these small boat trips across the atoll will be my last.
