Wait for It

Last night was yet another example of why patience can be a valued trait. The actual setting of the sun was nice, but nothing special. Half an hour later, however, was glorious. There is no way photographs ever do the real thing justice.

Wrong Direction

On my evening walks after I get off work, I notice that lots and lots of people gather at the various beaches to watch the sun set.

The other evening they were all looking in the wrong direction. No one even thought to look in the exact opposite direction where a stunning rainbow crossed a huge swath of sky.

Early Thanksgiving

It seems that tomorrow is Thanksgiving in Canada and, even though we're on Maui, we had a lot to be thankful for this morning.

We saw lots of friendly turtles and had exceptional swimming conditions.

Mister Cool

Who needs swim goggles when you look this cool :-)

This is my first-ever pair of RayBan Wayfarers which were found, just like I find lots of cool stuff, on the ocean floor.

Horray, I managed to get in two (count 'em - two) ocean swims after work this week. That does mean I'm doing evening swims, which is getting into feeding time for the sharks, but so far no problems.

Almost Run Over

What a treat. I managed a non-Sunday swim again this week while the winds were down yesterday evening.

Every turtle but one swam up to me, closer and closer and closer. I did a lot of backpedaling to keep from getting run over.

Happy Birthdays to Jen and DB

This morning the Maui Pink Cap swimmers celebrated the birthdays of Jen and DB with a lovely ocean swim down at Keoneoio.

Staring People

Strange autumn weather continues to bring us dramatic sunsets and even sudden little downpours. Never a dull moment.

Several of the Wailea resorts offer private oceanfront dining. Well, private except for the steady stream of people walking by staring at you. Still, pretty cool.
