We had such a great week with this Troop again! Half of them were with us 2 years ago and the new crew that came for the first time were fantastic! We got a lot of awesome snorkeling done on 6 different reefs and some fast sailing done the first few days of the trip. BJ caught a big mutton snapper that we grilled and we got to taste fresh conch that Admiral Linda got on our last dive. Good time was had by all!!
So did his dad Terry!
Andy really like the fresh raw conch!
Great having you on board Brandon!
What did you think of the conch Mason??

This is a girl conch
