Back to Normal

After last week's exciting ocean swim, it felt good to get back to our normal Sunday morning routine. Although the nice clear water was a great change.

Thrilling Swim

A lot of swimmers appeared this morning to celebrate Valentine's Day in the ocean. Little did we know what was in store for us...

We were checking out these four Spotted Eagle Rays when suddenly...

Tail and Fin Slaps

While we see lots and lots and lots of whale spouts off in the distance, we are also seeing them up close to shore. We are also seeing lots of breaching (jumping out of the water) and tail and fin slaps.

 

Happy Birthday Coach Dave

Only a few swimmers gathered this morning to celebrate Coach Dave's repeating birthday. 

Conditions were surprisingly good and we got to watch lots of whale breaches from a safe distance.

 

Pretty Rain

We actually had a couple of brief rainstorms here on the desert side of Maui this past week.

They were accompanied by some nice rainbows and pretty sunsets.

 

Sea Caves

The fun group of Maui Pink Cap swimmers changed things up this morning with a swim at Dumps. 

Conditions were great, we got to explore some sea caves, and were visited by lots of green sea turtles.

Cannot Complain

I cannot, and will not, complain about being stuck on Maui during these unusual times.

We often decompress by watching the sky light up during sunset, plus we have the bonus of being entertained by the antics of whales as they pass by.

Maui no ka oi
