On 1/29/23 we moved our boat to Whitehouse Bay. While Ballast Bay was fine condition wise, we were getting boat wakes from boats entering the marina. So, we moved our boat to the next anchorage to the north.
We went snorkeling right off of our boat. The water in Whitehouse Bay was very clear, even in 20 feet of water where we were anchored. As we started snorkeling, we went under the boat and swam on our anchor. We could clearly see it stuck into the sandy bottom. Then, we started snorkeling towards shore and I saw a ray on the bottom, looking up at me, seemingly smiling. It was camouflaged in a color that matched the sandy bottom. As we neared shore, we came upon rocks which made up the reef.
There were many different kinds and sizes of fish swimming around in these rocks. And, we saw a family of lobsters hiding under one of the rocks. We saw a variety of grouper, rainbow fish, Sargent majors, blue tangs, trumpet fish, and more. And, there was a variety of coral growing on the rocks. It was a really good place to snorkel.
