Clear and Perfect

The Maui Pink Cap swimmers had extraordinarily clear water for our ocean swim this morning, plus we got to share our adventures with two newcomers.

Perseverance

I get home, I look at thumbnails of the photos I've taken during my walk, and I say, "This junk? What was I thinking when I took these photos?"

But I persevere, process the photos, and once again see what I saw when I took them.

Friday the 13th

The only thing scary about today was how ridiculously many Green Sea Turtles we encountered. We truly lost count.

Not only were the turtles not afraid of us, they seemed to be totally oblivious to our presence. We had to keep moving out of their way to avoid being run over.

Hidden Ribs

Except for subtle differences, most of the homes in South Maui are cut from the same pattern. But every now and then one manages to surprise me. This one (top photo) began as a lovely change from the normal - until they divided it into two levels and hid most of the "ribs." Oh well, it still remains a bit out of the norm.

Safely Into Shore

Swimming with Maui's Mermaids is always a treat, and today was no exception. Conditions got crazy on the way back, but we all made it safely into shore. Kenny was a HERO.

Attractive Shade

People were finding the shade to be very attractive this morning.

Oh, and the water too.

Unharmed

Fear of possible Box Jellyfish kept most of the Maui Pink Cap Swimmers out of the ocean this morning, but several of us persevered and had a spectacular swim. And without even the tiniest sting between us.
