After a gorgeous Saturday morning, the wind decided to start blowing about 30 minutes before our students arrived at the marina for our Saturday Boating Program in Riviera Beach. Once all the students arrived, we unloaded the kayaks, packed up all our equipment and paddled out for Peanut Island. By the time we arrived at the Island it was packed with people, but we were able to find a nice area which was sheltered from the wind. The students grabbed their snorkel gear and ran for the water. They found all sorts of interesting fish, sea urchins, and shells. The students had a ball searching and collecting shells to take home, and they even started a competition to see who could find the most shells underwater while holding their breath. I believe the record was 7!!! Despite the wind and the loads of people, everyone had a blat on the Island, and once they all started shivering we headed back for the main land.
