Different Vantage

Surf's up again on the South shores of Maui. Which means poor visibility and dangerous swimming, but excellent surfing.

So when I cut my ocean swim short this morning, I decided to check out the surfers on my way back in and got my first ever in-water surf shots.  Fun.

Bubbling with Joy

 I was glowing with joy and bubbling with happiness as I emerged from the ocean this morning.

The water was at its warmest, so it was truly a joy to spend two and a half hours swimming with several Manta Rays, a Spotted Eagle Ray, several Sea Turtles, countless fishies and, best of all, the fun group of Maui Pink Cap Swimmers.

What a day!

Pushing Boundaries

 The ocean was unusually calm again this morning, perfect for exploring caves and tunnels, both above water and below.

My adventurous friends, Patti & Janet, even managed to get me to swim into places I don't normally go.

Me and Monet

Me and Monet. What is it about water lilies?

Many Happy Returns

What fun having the newlyweds back in the ocean again.

As well as one of our own from days past who has moved on up to being an "elite" swimmer. Come back and swim with us anytime, Rick.

Unabashed Yellowness

Yellow Tang are probably my favorite fish, due entirely to their pure, unabashed yellowness.

Another One

Just another beautiful summer day...
