Swimming with Sharks!

Once again, posting is "hard work" and often left a little behind. Oh like two months or so! Oops! Sorry about that.

Anyway, just a quick update on our training trip to FL in January. We were in Juno Beach, FL from January 7 - 15th. The weather was beautiful the entire week. Even when the cold front came through it was still in the mid-60's. Funny to see the lifeguards bundled up with down jackets while we were in shorts.

The highlight of the trip was snorkeling about a mile off of Pompano Beach. It included a stop at a ship wreck and a spot that had a number of nurse sharks. Very cool to see sharks up close and personal. Even though they are not very dangerous, it certainly had an element of "fear". While snorkeling, the waves were between 2-3 feet. Not really that big, but being in the water, it gives you a whole new perspective on the power of the ocean and what people can go through in the open ocean.

We will be returning to the same place for 2010.

Best,
DA
