Giggling Mermaids

 Swimming with Maui's Mermaids (and friends) is always a playful experience.

Today was no exception with lots of giggles to go around.

Any Given Sunday

On any given Sunday people gather on the shore, mostly in pink caps, to head out into the ocean to do their own thing. Yesterday was no exception and lots of fun was had all around.

Escape

The swimmers completed the Kahului Escape Room this afternoon. What a fun and exciting adventure. 

Reef Cleanup and More

I had the opportunity to head out with a great group of people to help cleanup a way too small stretch of reef this morning. And to help celebrate Alan's birthday. Woo Hoo!

Many mahalos to the magnificent Maui Snorkel Charters for a GREAT oceangoing experience.

Droning On

 Drones, drones everywhere.

I don't know about where you live, but I can't get away from drones here in South Maui. They are extremely popular, both as toys and as photographic tools. No, I don't have one. Yet.

A Thing of Poetry

I was privileged to swim with Maui's Mermaids (and friends) this morning. We were treated to a Nudibranch and two (count them - two) poetry recitals.

Pink Caps Have FUN

 Maui's Pink Cap Swimmers know how to have FUN. For us, the wilder, the better.

We are mixing it up and trying different swim spots.

Iao Visit

Whenever I find myself in Wailuku, I try to swing up and visit the Iao Valley.

As always, it was well worth the detour; although I was glad for the sweater I had stashed in my car.

Fish Behaving

I got to swim with a few of Maui's Mermaids this morning.

We made sure the whale bones were still in place and the fish were behaving.

Feeling a Part Of

I love feeling included, and Maui's Mermaids and Spinner Dolphins always make me feel that way.

This morning we saw two spectacular Nudibranchs (middle photo) on a very clear water swim.

Less or More Ideal

Less than ideal ocean conditions got us out to yet another location for our Sunday morning swim today.

What a fun group of people!

Brush Storage

We proudly display a piece by this plein-aire Maui artist. I love her method of brush storage.

The sunsets have been lovely the last few days and have included lots of humpback whale activity.

Allowed to Tag Along

 It is always a joy getting out into the ocean with friends.

This morning Maui's Mermaids (and friends) allowed me to tag along.

Shaking It Up

The Maui Pink Cap swimmers decided to add spice to the new year by trying a different swim locale.

We were visited by two different Manta Rays as we explored the shore.

Ease Back In

I am completely fed up with this cold/flu thing which I've had off and (mostly) on since the middle of November! Every time I feel well enough to get out and experience life, I get slammed HARD and end up back in bed.

Anyway, enough whining. Now that I'm feeling somewhat better, I will ease back into my normal life instead of diving in full-force.
