Did a lot of snorkeling in the low wind, small wave weekend. There was a fish that swam with Rosa and I, at the surface, for over an hour. I am trying to identify our tiny friend. He was about twice the size of a US quarter- a very small fish, similar to a Sergeant Major in form, but not color. The fish we saw was mostly silver, with a blue band running lengthwise, and Rosa thinks a yellow tail. I saw this fish also before swimming around floatsam. (large branch floating in the water) It was SO small that am thinking it could have been a juvenile fish.
