I went snorkeling on Friday, September 14th when the water, according to this website was about 68 degrees. My wetsuit kept me nice and toasty though. I wonder, is it possible the water depth might have made this area slightly warmer? I did not notice any fish this trip. I didn’t notice the workmen on at Parker Island watching me either, so maybe there were fish.

We were there around 11:30 am or so. Maybe they were out to lunch? Last year there were several very large bass that kept following me around. Bass are curious and once they see you aren’t a threat they will come closer. Sometimes close enough you can pet them, what a thrill that can be! Of course I would not pet a fish these days. Not after what happened last winter with our aquarium.

Next year I will try and snap some underwater shots of the local fish!
