Day 17 - Aruba

 

 

We were up and ready for our excursion by 8am. We were in Aruba today and could not wait to go snorkeling as we had heard about their colorful reefs. We boarded the catamaran and headed out to sea. We soon saw a lot of boats in the area we were going. We dropped anchor and entered the water. We saw no colorful reefs, but did see a few fish we had never seen before. We only swan for 30 minutes and then headed to the shipwreck site. It was more out to sea and we could see at least 6 boats in the area. We jumped in the water and found it really rough to swim in, let alone snorkel. The ship was at least 60 feet down and you could not see a lot. I got back on board and it was not worth the fight. So out of a 4-hour adventure, we only got to really see anything for 30 minutes. This was the most disappointing trip we have ever had. The crew was not all that great either and acted like they did not want to be there. We found when we got back to the boat; my feet had really got sunburn. But a little lotion and they were good as new.
