Day 4 in Puerto Rico...East Island Snorkeling Trip on a "Power Cat" This time we are heading out snorkeling with a big group on a "power cat" that is a catermaran that uses a big boat motor to get around instead of a sail. There was a big iquana at the dock near the deck that benefitted from all the fruit left over from the tours! he kept a pretty good eye on us! The ride to the first island stop will only take a half hour or so but the water was pretty choppy and two people got sick...glad it wasn't me! I thought it was like a great roller coaster ride!     At the first island (Callubrita) we couldn't go to shore but could snorkel around the boat. Believe you me, I stayed real close to the boat! Right at the boat there were so many fish and little 2" moon jellies! We saw big white angel fish and blue tangs. A big spotted ray jumped about three feet out of the water about 30 feet from the boat! right where some people were snorkeling over the reef!     Sharks? Nope-just dolphins... that makes me feel a bit better! Between stops we came across a pod of about 20 dolpins. None of them jumped out of the water but from the size of their fins you could tell some were calves. So cute! It is overcast today and there are a few sprinkles. One girl called back to her mom on the big island and she said they were getting a ton of rain! through the day they almost got 5 inches! glad we are 30 miles away on the power cat! Off to the second stop! The second stop was at one of the most beautiful islands in the world! Flamenco beach has white beaches with turquoise waters. It is very calm and fun to swim in. You can walk down the beach to the rock jettys for the snorkeling area. Both mom and dad went quite a ways but I just went a little ways down the reef. This is a picture I found of a spotted ray...it flew through the air so fast we could only tell it was dark! and big! The beach was beautiful, the sand was soft and warm and I am so tired again! tomorrow will be way different! come along with us to Day 5!
