I love kayaking. In fact I love anything to do with water. I'm convinced it's because I'm a Pisces. Yesterday Saturday 24th we took off mid-morning snorkel gear in hand and headed for Lanikai beach where you can hire kayaks and there are some nice islands to paddle out to. But the best part are the turtles. When it's not high surf the water is extremely clear and calm and you can see the turtles really well. They are so gorgeous. Jeff and I got on our snorkel gear and jumped over the side of the kayak to follow and watch them. Usually you see them one at a time. I think they are probably mostly solitary creatures.
We headed for the small island closest to shore called Flat Island. Because - well, it's flat; It's also a bird sancturay. You can land and as long as you are respectful that it's a sanctuary and don't pollute it with garbage and such, it's a lovely jump off point for a bit of snorkeling. Yesterday the sea wasn't so calm as there was a high surf due to a storm off the far south-east coast, but we found a some colorful fishlife anyway. I noticed a huge trigger fish that sadly was in the throws of dying.
Heading home we took H3 to H1 a different route to how we drove there. I felt really good after the exercise and fresh air. It did Jeff a lot of good too. He's spending lots of time in the house working. First thing in the morning he gets up has a coffee and sits down with minimac to work. I'm keeping myself busy with research on our next stop Bangkok.
Sunday we had tickets for the local Jesus Christ Superstar show at the Performing Arts Theatre near Kakapuu Ave. It was good, well oiled and smoothly run. Judas unfortunately didn't have the oomph or strength to be the strong player this part demands. But it didn't detract terribly from a lovely entertaining show. And the most unusual part were the ASL sign language support volunteers. They were as entertaining and into showing the emotions through their body language and hand motions as the actors on stage were. Aweseome.
This evening we realised we only have 9 days left in Hawaii. That Ken and Evelyn come back in 6 days.
