WEEKEND SNORKELING



This past weekend  Port Elizabeth dished up the best weather we have seen this  year. Windless, warm and crystal clear oceans.  You only get a handful of days like this in Port  Elizabeth and you better maximize them!

I went out to Sardinia Bay for a snorkel and a swim. This time I was way more successful than when we went to Storms River Mouth.   The idea was more to test my GoPro in underwater conditions.  But as soon as I went under the surface I was amazed at the fish swimming around. Although I didn't get to see a Goblin Shark I still had one heck of a time.This in a spot  where we regularly go for  a swim oblivious to the sea life underneath. I had some great opportunities for some underwater Selfies

Im not scared of sharks

Perfect pool for snorkeling

Its weekends like this that makes me wonder if I really want to move away. The ocean is an easy 10 minute drive away, traffic is never really bad, weather is pretty good all year around and Eastern Cape is the Adventure Province of South Africa.  Its great for raising kids. There is rivers, ocean, mountains (although a bit of a  drive), greenbelts, clean air!

I also found an interesting video about social media and the internet. I agree with the author although there is a place for it. Like all things in life its about striking the  right balance. Its up to each one of us to determine that balance. Keep in mind that the building blocks for fellowship and community is what builds great families.


Now stop reading this blog and go for a jog!
