After our busy Coast Guard week, we took a few days to check out some locations on Vieques, Palamino, and Lobos islands, which are just east of Puerto Rico. We were in search of good snorkeling sites for our upcoming guests, and found a couple nice spots that should do the trick.
Vieques was a great spot, although since the trade winds were howling, we had a tough time making progress to the east…but when we finally got there, the bottom was covered with turtle grass and colorful starfish.
After we got back to mainland Puerto Rico, we did a quick trip into San Juan to check out the area, and look for a bakery that we had heard good things about. Alas the bakery is closed, but walking around town was nice for the afternoon. This week, we'll be touring eastern Puerto Rico and some of the Spanish Virgin Islands (or "Passage Islands" depending on who you ask) with our guests from up north!

Aloha from Oahu'. I’ve thought about you guys a lot this week being here. I’ve done some snorkeling a couple times, saw tons of colorful fish and a moray eel. But today was the best. I was working my way across the wall and a sea turtle popped up over one of the rocks and swam about two feet away. I can’t imagine all the underwater life in the past year you guys have seen. Good luck on the new career adjustment. See ya.
