No Escape

I can't get away from them. It seems that no matter where I swim these days, I get mobbed by hordes of Spinner Dolphins. This morning more than forty of them repeatedly approached me; I think they wanted to play. Many of them were already playing the leaf game and they wished I would join in.

Mobbed by Dolphins

I went out for a short swim this morning and was mobbed by nearly forty Spinner Dolphins. After being approached by them, I floated in place for fifteen minutes while they swam back and forth above, below and all around me. When they finally started to swim away, I made my break for shore.

Working Off the Bounty

The Maui Pink Cap Swimmers gathered this morning to begin working off all the Turkey, Stuffing and more which had been consumed at Thanksgiving feasts. What a perfect day for an ocean swim.

First Whales

Shortly after sunset yesterday, a mom and baby Humpback Whale swam past me. Hooray! My first sighting of the season.

Thanksgiving Part II

 After a fun morning swim yesterday, I was fortunate enough to experience sunset and moonrise up on the mountain with some of the Pink Cap Swimmers. I'm still savoring the aroma of wood smoke which lingers in my hair this morning.

Lucky me!

Happy Thanksgiving

I am continually grateful for my amazing life - AND I got to spend Thanksgiving with both Mermaids in the water and Pink Caps on land. How great is that?!

This Crown of Thorns Starfish (middle photo) seemed to be having a Thanksgiving feast as well.

Pre-Thanksgiving Swim

Swim turnouts this week have been really low, but conditions have been great.

We saw a big stream of fresh Octopus ink, but not much else on our ocean swim this morning.
