The Whitson's. Here to thaw out ;o)

My Favorite Fish, the Parrot Fish. These guys make sand. Literally!

Underwater creation at it's best.

View across Kaelakekua Bay. The Captain Cook monument is that tiny tiny little white spec on the other side..

Our "raft" and Captain Bill.

Now that's what I am talking about!

We have friends here from  Washington State and decided to take them out in our boat yesterday and across Kaelakekua Bay for a kayak trip today.

We got some great whales sounds yesterday and the whales were so close to the boat you could almost touch them (we did not get close to them, they came close to us for the record). It was amazing to watch this little whale calf and mom frolicing all around us in this little bay. 

There was a male  "singer" very close by and we got some great audio recorded. I got in the water  looking for him, but could not locate him as sounds comes from all directions, so hard to directly locate him, although I have been able to do so before (in Tonga).

Today's adventure was a swim across Kaelakekua Bay (where Captain Cook, got whacked) while  everyone else kayaked across the Bay.

It is about 1.2 miles across, and the dolphins were out in full force. I got a dolphin show out and another show coming back . The water was it's normal chilly self, but it was again, crystal clear. Just keep swimming and you will hopefully forget the temperature.

Spring is around the corner (I hope)....

A hui Hou my freinds!
