Kwajalein: Reef Walking

Like I said earlier (you were reading and comprehending my posts right???), all the Marshall Islands are made of coral, and connected underwater by coral.



Well, the island nearest to Kwaj is pretty close. It's only about 3 or 4 hundred yards away. When the tide is lowest you can easily walk in ankle deep water over to the uninhabited island.



So we tried to walk over there, but the tide wasn't super duper low, and the water was kind-of choppy. I guess when it's not choppy you can see starfish and other sea life. So we walked around on the shallow coral reef for a while, I burned the backs of my legs (sun reflecting off the ocean), and took some photos.
