Snorkeling: Destinaton Unknown

Tues 2 Sept, Jason and I started the day by treating ourselves to breakfast at The Gazebo restaurant located at our hotel by the shoreline. The restaurant is known over the island for their macadamia nut pancakes and as a result a line forms every morning soon after it opens. I upped the anty by trying the short stack macadamia nut, pineapple and banana combo with coconut syrup. So delicious, I finished my entire plate. After a bit of relaxing, Jason and I were off to our afternoon snorkeling outing. We drove 30 minutes to the marina and boarded the catamaran with out snorkeling gear. We were off to Coral Gardens. (There were 8 feet waves at Molokini Carter.) Once we arrived we jumped in the 15-20 deep calm clear water to see an amazing and serene world below. Jason and I snapped photos with our disposable underwater film cameras. It was by far the best snorkeling I have never done. After our alotted time was up, we hopped back on the boat. Other experienced snorkelers commented that this area was as good if not better then Molokini Carter, which is the known as the Mercedes of snorkeling outings. After returning to shore, Jason had his hopes up for a round of put-put, but alas the putting green was closed for the day. Tomorrow, we drive the scenic road to Hana.
