We’ve had a couple of great days on the Koru and in the water.
Here is a view of paradise from the boat. There are buoys around the various islands where boats can tie up to stay for the day or overnight. Luckily, the places Joran takes us have buoys available.
This spot is Lameshur Bay on St John island.
The best place to hang out if we’re traversing rougher open water is on the flybridge. We are wearing scopolamine patches to ward off motion sickness, but sometimes I also need to take meclizine (non-drowsy version of Dramamine).
This is the flybridge on Koru…
Today, we had lunch (and dinner) on the front of the boat. We had great views all around us!
Yummy pulled-pork soft tacos for lunch our with a view!
Today, we got to play with the “sea scooters”! Fun! You hold on to them and point where you want to go and it propels you that direction. It’s a great way to get over long distances instead of swimming. And, with my currently injured knee, this has been really helpful!
Here is the “Subnado” device. We need to work on getting a picture of one of us using it!
So far, we haven’t seen much coral. Most of the underwater is rocks and some areas have dead coral in pieces (destroyed by a couple of huge hurricanes back in 2017. But, we have seen a few brain coral. This one was really large.
These yellow-striped French Grunt fish like to hang out in groups around the rocks.
Of course, there are sea urchins scattered around. Oh! And we saw this extra colorful fish, which is a Queen Angelfish, beautiful!!
This larger coral managed to survive hurricanes. In this picture, you can see all the large rocks that make up the area.
This was a fairly large sponge…
There are SO many of these pretty blue fish – the “Caribbean Blue Tang”. We also saw this pufferfish. LOL – it doesn’t look very pretty.
At this location, there were tons of these tiny fish schooling around.
Another view of the Koru from the water. What a great boat!
After a great day of snorkeling and relaxing on board, we had a classic filet mignon dinner.
