Wind Chimes and Mermaids

 I had a delightful run-in with a few Mermaids on my ocean swim this morning. They're everywhere.

The way Emperorfish school vertically makes me think of wind chimes rotating in the breeze.

These are fresh turtle tracks in the sand. We now have three nests this season all within a hundred yards of each other.

Anne's Birthday Swim with the Rays

 The Maui Pink Cap Swimmers celebrated Anne's Birthday with visits from at least six different Spotted Eagle Rays and at least two different Manta Rays, plus all the other usual suspects.

Plumeria Time

Summertime seems to also be Plumeria time.

It also seems to be a popular time to visit Wailea beach.

Scoop Formation

 This friendly Manta Ray swam with me this morning.

You can see it in two different modes of operation. Its mouth is closed down while in travel mode (top photo), and opened up into a scoop formation while in feeding mode (bottom photo).

Playing Around

Just playing around with photos I took on my walk this morning...

Birthday Bash in El Salvadore

 Maui's Mermaids celebrated one of their own with a fun birthday swim this morning.

They even introduced me to an idyllic new spot called El Salvadore.
