Hawaii - Snorkeling, Whale Song, Turtles, Scenic Flight (22 JAN 2009)
Another early beginning - this time with snorkel gear and wetsuits in tow (and scopolomine behind the ear for the 'susceptible' party...). We departed just after sunrise, everyone hoping for a calm morning without trades, but the trades were off-schedule on this day and we got the 'best' of it. Camilla considers this a 'bonus' when it comes to destination research. From a professional standpoint, she would much rather know just how rough it can be rather then how perfectly calm it can be, if the goal is to use the findings to evaluate a prospective client for suitability and subsequently deliver useful preparatory advice. Good thing she (not Steve) is also the one with a propensity for motion sickness!! No human motion consequences on this day, however, and as you will see, no murk underwater either (since there is no sand churn or mud runoff issues at this great snorkeling site). Do listen for the WHALES on this video. They were very easy to hear, even just 3-4 feet below the surface. Amazing! (Again, boring thumbnail. Hey, YouTube picked it!!).
Later on, while waiting for our afternoon flight to another island, one of Hawaii's glorious rainbows put on a minor runway show:
And for those who enjoy scenic low-flying vistas, here's a little Sea Cliff eye candy for ya:
