Snorkling in franks tract?
« on: Wed, July 28, 2010, 11:51:41 »
Just wondering if it's clear enough there to float around with my face down in the water.

Yes it is.

The west side of the tract has been teated for weed. The east side is still very thick.

Forgot to add.

If you do go snorkeling, make sure that you stay close to a boat. The bass fishermen run across the tract at 50 to 60 MPH!!!

I had never thought about bringing my snorkel, but I love snorkeling, so will give it a try this time. Also, a tip for us chicks: swim fins are great for shaping your legs!

So do you wrap the swim fins around your legs or rub them on your legs? How does that work?   :~)

So, how was the snorkeling? Turned out I didn't have a mask, so didn't try it. I saw that the Geronimo crew gave it a shot at Boyd's.

Snorkling was great.  We actually bought a couple of masks specifically for the trip.  It helped getting all that cabbage off our prop too and gained us a full half knot to knot of speed to cruise into Stockton!  And it's fun too when the water is close to 80 degrees. :-)
