this morning ... our toes hit the sand before 9am and minutes later we were dressed in our snorkle togs & a hundred yards from shore. Poseidon or Neptune must have favored us, as we saw a variety of artfully painted fish ... and 8 turtles!! Timing is everything, cuz right before we entered and long after we returned to solid ground ... the sightings were few & far between. The Capt confessed to me over our brown bag lunch, that while he loved seeing all the underwater critters ... he's found that he loves being ON the water even more than under it. Although this, too, will pass at some point (he has his own phases...) I appreciate that he took today to spend WITH ME, beit on land or in the sea.
Following our 5 hour beach campout ... we took a drive south of Maluaka Beach. It took us all the way down to the end of the road, along miles & miles of dark brown lava flow rock, piled up like rich, fresh soil. But this is neither fertile, nor pretty .... just barren and desolute. However, on this typical clear & sunny day ... the water sparkles like a Sweet Adeline costume & I took a dozen great pictures just hanging the point & shoot out the car window as we cruised along. As mom used to say ... It was another rotten day in paradise!
