"SPIRIT OF PENNEKAMP" GLASS BOTTOM BOAT TRIP
















 
this is what it looked like but better and this is a photo!



We spent the day at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, it was the first undersea park created in the US. Lunch on the beach, looked at the campsite then went on the glass bottom boat trip for 2+ hours.
We motored 6 miles out through beautiful blue-green water to Molasses Reef then bobbed about for 45 minutes looking through the glass windows in the bottom of the boat. We we lucky to get a seat right on the edge of the windows, I think a lot of people were put off by the girl talking so long about the fact you might get seasick and what to do and where to go with your sick bag!
It was sheer heaven, just cannot describe how amazing it was to see hundreds of tropical fish, a Moray eel, stunning coral and I was the one who spotted a nurse shark! We were so busy staring at the windows, there are no photos or what I did take were hopeless, but oh, what memories we have!
