Finstown Slipway - 24 May 12

Trying to catch up on the blog, been a bit busy recently.

Went over to Finstown Slipway on the evening of the 24 May, my first time snorkelling at this location.

On arrival at the car park Marc and Anne were chatting with Penny, although they couldn't stay and join us in the water. It was a nice sunny evening and the water didn't feel too cold for a change!!

On entering the water I was greeted with a new habitat, Eel Grass. Time to explore the Eel Grass bed and beyond.
