Out in the Ocean

 I always enjoy seeing Alan and Bruce out in the ocean. This morning we saw several turtles and lots of fish busily feeding.

Along the way we passed a family doing SNUBA together.

Back to Normal

After a very rare two days of chilly rain, it was wonderful to return to Maui's normal warm sunshine this morning.

Party Time on the Mountain

 In a rare move the Maui Pink Cap Swimmers canceled a Sunday swim in favor of a high-altitude party. Christine reached a milestone and Maggie is (once again) moving off-island. The mountaintop elevation is the only reason I can come up with for all the silliness which ensued.

Rainbow Painting

Rainbow is visiting Maui for a couple of days to paint a mural for a local business; and she still made time to swim in the ocean.

I didn't see any dolphins this morning, but did see lots and lots of turtles.

Transformation

 What could be more beautiful than a south Maui morning? Conditions were exquisite for my walk along the shore today, and lots of other people seemed to be enjoying themselves as well.

The squid from earlier this week has transformed into some kind of Gorgon.

Big Guy

I got to swim with Maui's Mermaids and some of their hangers on this morning.

We saw lots of fish, including this BIG guy (bottom photo) in shallow water chasing small fish.

Giant Squid

 I was surprised to see this giant squid still in the same place two days later. At least it hadn't begun to smell.

Climbing coconut palms with spikes is becoming a thing of the past. Apparently the holes created by the spikes can cause the trees to be more susceptible to disease.
