Sadness and Joy

I count myself as being extremely fortunate for getting to swim with Maui's Mermaids (and their hangers-on) this morning.

We were saddened by our encounter with a seriously ill sea turtle, but a Hawaiian chant and some poetry got our hearts soaring again.

Our friendly Shark, who Rosanne has named Don, was moving a little too quickly; I guess it was feeling overwhelmed by so many high-spirited visitors.
