This was a day we had planned and were on a schedule. We headed out for breakfast then went to a different beach for better snorkeling. When we got there it seemed like it was going to be a dud--- it started to rain a bit and the surf was rough and we were completely alone(a bit creepy). Then we saw them, the spinner dolphins. Lots of them, maybe 40. And they were feeding and jumping and more people showed up and the rain stopped and what a terrific place. D went snorkeling first and was amazed at how different it was then by our hotel. I tried and stopped the first time (fogged mask, psyched myself out) and then went out later in the morning; thanks to D, my snorkel mentor. Beautiful and interesting fish and coral of many colors. Right before we left I was snorkeling and could hear the dolphins "talking" they were so close. G was scared they had gotten me; M(in the Joe Pesci voice) told him I was swimming with the fishes.
We got cleaned up and headed over to Lahaina to take a glass bottom boat ride. E was hesitant. G was too excited for words. M was actually being good today(we were suspicious and waiting for our luck to end). The boat ride was great. Saw sea turtles and a moray eel. D and I were inspired to snorkel more before we go.
Aloha! B
