Snorkeling @ Maeda with Amanda

On a hot & sunny Friday afternoon (the day before Betsy's birthday) after Amanda & Betsy had a yummy lunch together at Hama Sushi, I joined them for an excursion out to Maeda Point (Maeda-misaki) in Onna-son for some snorkeling fun. Normally, we've found that Fridays are much less crowded than Saturday & Sunday at Maeda, but that day it was SLAMMED (as much if not more than the Sunday we went with Tito & Ana)! There were crowds of snorkelers & divers all over the place. Nonetheless, we squeezed in with them & enjoyed the waters & wildlife!
