Re: Safari Truck Rental

Re: windy!

Enjoying your daily reports keep them coming. Hope it calms down for some good snorkels.

Re: Trip Report: October 8 - 16, 2013

Cindygad, We both have a pair of hiking sandals (Tevas) that we wear when hiking. We will normally take one of our snorkel gear bags when we hike to Blue Cobblestone and then put our sandals in it for the snorkel back. My wife is very strong swimmer. I have accused her of being part fish and our fr...
