Jeannie's

This afternoon I went to Jeannie's to nap, soak up some sun, and swim.  It was nice for sure, but I was a bit disappointed.

About one week ago, I went to Jeannie's for dinner and to enjoy the waterfront in the early evening.  It was such a nice time!  You know, when it's just what you were looking for?  So I wanted to go back, to recreate that feeling.  I also wanted to swim there because some ladies said they saw many cool fish while snorkeling there. 

The afternoon was nice, for sure. Cause there was sun and water and I got to swim and nap in the dappled sun/shade of a palm tree.  Rough aye?

But I was kinda disappointed too.  The water was calm at the beginning of my swim.  But got rough at the end.  So when I came out, I was a bit sea sick.  Yes, for a swimmer, I'm wimpy that way.  There was one spot with a good number of pretty fish.  But there was also lots of construction debris. Not especially pretty.

But, I did learn about Sea Treking and Snuba.  Both enable you to "scuba" without being a diver.  With snuba, the tank is on the shore.  There's a hose attached to it, and to a regulator which you breathe with.  You use normal scuba goggles. Sea Trek is similar but you put your head in a big white metal helmet with a visor.  I'm assuming there's also an air tank on shore and you're connected with a hose.  I was considering trying one of them, until I saw that there wasn't that much to see underwater in that area...

Pictures
1 - me trying on the Sea Trek helmet.  It was heavy-ish.  But the real ones way about 45 lbs!! Or maybe kg!!  I can't remember....But it was really heavy when the really nice staff let me try pick it up
2-A little army of Sea Trek helmets ready to go.  They put them on your head when you're already in the water.  So you don't feel the weight I think.
3 - A mural showing you all the stuff you could see during your Snuba or Sea Trek adventure.  Or maybe not....
