Snorkel Day Trip on the Red Sea

Yesterday we took a boat excursion out into the Red Sea from Hurghada. We were on a boat along with a bunch of folks from Poland. We have decided this must be a big resort area for Polish people. We're not sure why. Anyway, we set out at around 9, first went to a big sandy desert island and enjoyed the super clear almost glowing blue water. By the way, in the photo below, we are the ones not dressed in Speedos and not getting a sun burn. We decided afterwards that a good business in Hurghada would be a sun burn/skin cancer center. Here Jacob and Craig hand out on the front of the boat, doing the Titanic thing. They stayed out front for parts of the trip and especially liked it when the boat was crashing through the waves and giving a great roller coaster experience.

After our beach time, we then went to a great snorkel spot over a reef. Many beautiful fish (Stephen, don't worry, no comparison to our other snorkel adventures!) and nice coral. We then enjoyed a big lunch on the boat and then immediately arrived at the next dive spot. No thirty minute rule in the Red Sea! The water was very choppy we were all agreed it was difficult to get comfortable in it.

From the photo below you can see that Craig has found his career of choice. He spent the day admiring the boat captain, though he did not get a chance to man the wheel. The captain only selected the young bikini clad passengers for that honor.
