On this day, after the finishing bell sounded on Wall Street at 11AM Hawaiian Time, we went out in search of a little Monday afternoon underwater fun. Turned out there was far more than fun on offer - how about some 'Singing Whales' (listen carefully and you'll hear them several times in this video):
[HELP: IF YOUR VIDEO STOPS INTERMITTENTLY AS YOU TRY TO PLAY IT:
For those without super fast internet connections (including us, at the moment) your videos will probably not play continuously without some advance buffering. It is easy to buffer, however, so all is not lost. Simply click 'play' to start it playing, then just click the pause button (II) on the lower left side of the video screen until you see it has buffered 1/4-1/1 past the right side of the dot (there is a red 'play' line to the left of the dot and a faded red 'buffer' line to the right of the dot). Once buffered, simply hit the red play (>) arrow in the lower left corner again and the video should play through without interruption. If it does not, it is most likely because you did not let it buffer long enough. Slow connections may require you to buffer the entire video before you begin to play it - fine so long as you know what to do!!?? Now you know. Enjoy the show!]
And here is a quick little lesson for greenhorn snorkelers and city slickers on how NOT to get beaten to smithereens by light-to-moderate wave action in places without fringing/protective reefs - plus a quick word on safekeeping your keys and other valuables:
And, finally, if you ever found yourself wondering about the deeper Polynesian meaning of 'ear flowers', you'll get the inside scoop here in 'How to Wear Your Plumeria' (...theoretically, any flower will do, though I'd probably stay away from geraniums due to the repulsive odor...):
Ok, your turn now. Here's your Mai-tai, now go find yourself an ear flower suitable for the occasion and have some fun in life! Manuia!
A hui hou,
Steve & Camilla
