Man, I Could Get Lost Down There...

Just got back from a beautiful morning of Kayaking and Snorkeling.

Arose at 5 a.m. stoked and ready to do so.

The last time I was up that early, well, I can't quite remember, but I'm sure it'd be a safe bet that I was still up partying and laughing.

But this morning I got up after a good nights sleep. 

I got up, man that was cool.  I got up with out even "coming to" as we so often joke.

So after a cup of coffee and a small bowl of fruit salad I was on my way and met some new friends around 5:30 at Punta Marias.  The original plan was to go paddle boarding and catch some waves on the outer reefs, but there was a little wind so we opted for the kayaks at the last second.  No complaints here.

Before I knew it we were off into that great blue ocean and paddling towards Maria's Rock.  It's a good 20 minute paddle and we made it with ease.  All of us wasted no time in breaking left and catching good head high waves. 

Yeah sure, we were in Kayaks, but gliding is gliding and man, I had a blast.

Next we paddled down about a half a mile to Blue Hole.

After a quick moment of tying boats together and then to the reef below we threw on some fins and snorkeling gears and were soon swimming just above a beautiful, vibrant glowing reef, with a thirty foot drop off  just to your right- it creates a reef wall with  fish, barracudas, sea turtles, and rays all swimming in and out of nature's maze.        

Man, I could get lost down there.                 

I wish I was a better writer and could describe the beauty, the feeling, and the moment perfectly, but let me just say that it certainly gives you a new perspective on things.

Man, I could get lost down there.

I just ordered a digital water camera, (don't even have to pay for it for 3 months, thank goodness, because times are tight right now), so hopefully I'll be able to send you all my own pics soon.

Or even better, I'll be taking a picture of you right next to me... one day real soon.

Whoah!
