Another Day at Warderick Wells

Today we stayed on the boat during the morning while it was very hot outside and I read and did some sketches. Then we ate lunch and finished watching the movie from last night. Then we chatted with Dan for a little while and then we headed out to Emerald Rock to do some snorkeling and we got to see some fish that we haven't seen before. :) At the second dinghy mooring we got to see a bunch of fish and it was like an aquarium. Then we headed to the park head quarters to park the dinghy and then we hiked on Boo Boo Hill trail to the top of the hill and it was very hot so we consumed almost all our water by the time we reached the top. We snapped some pics and read a few of the many boat signs left at the top of the hill and then we were on our way back down to Powerful Beach. We were going to hike over to the blow holes, but it was low tide and we wouldn't have been able to see them so we didn't bother. When we returned to the trail we saw that the tide was rising and Banshee Creek was filling up so I had to remove my shoes to get across the trail at that section. Then we snorkeled around the beach and the mooring field, which I got to see several young conchs, a flounder and a few yellow fin tuna under a boat. Then we just stayed cool in the waters by shore for a while and we chatted with Fred before leaving to return to our boat. We made an early dinner of yellow rice with beans, onions, and celery. We watched a movie while eating dinner then I sketched a drawing, cleaned up the boat and strapped everything in the cabin down for departure and before bed we spent some time under the stars on deck.
