April 28 (Day 7 – Snorkel Francis Bay, Hang Out & Rest)

April 28 (Day 7 – Snorkel Francis Bay, Hang Out & Rest): Out early again. This time for snorkeling. We went back to Francis Bay where we did the boardwalk hike. Got a good parking spot. We took the beach chairs this time & snagged a good place with a picnic table. It pays to head out early! In the water, we swam east. It was kind of a long swim…we saw some huge turtles along the way. There were 3 of them with remoras on their backs! 2 each! We swam along the rocky shore & saw lots of fish. Eventually, Jim & Pam turned back & Rd & I continued on to the far end of the bay. We saw lots of schools of fish & 2 big French Angelfish, & another really big fish! It was a long swim back, but not too hard. We were out ~2¼ hours. We sat on the beach for a while, then headed back. We stopped at the Calabash Market for dinner food. Then, lunch & a rest. We took the rest of the day off to recover a bit.
