... they can and run away from it. It was pretty frickin comical if I do say so.
We find our spot, grab our gear and get in. Holy toledo does the water feel amazing- it's about 85 degrees and refreshing. Snorkeling is a bust though as the water is just too turbulent and the visibility is nil, so we just swim around instead. We take pictures of the scenery and then of ourselves.
