Temperature of the water, 78 degrees, skies cloudy with a mild breeze and the very soul of the cold season: garua falling on us for most of the day. Rain has been absent since the hot season is over, but some moisture has replaced it to the content of our guests. The drops are so tiny that it is almost impossible to see them, but with increasing experience our folks can tell very well when the garua starts. Our morning was very enjoyable as we decided to step in the sea. An amazing view, probably unique in the world, is to watch the droplets of garua under the surface of the water. It's the finest feeling you can get from the water. Fish seemed to enjoy too, as they continuously run up to the very surface and looked like drinking that fresh water (of course they didn't). Here an image of the "drinking fish"
