iSnorkel

Today, Jeff took me to Hanauma Bay. We went there to snorkel. I have never done any snorkeling before. It was not even something I had really thought about doing, but it was pretty cool.

I was worried that my lack of skill as a swimmer would thwart me in my snorkeling, but it turns out that I am pretty buoyant. Apparently, most people are buoyant in the ocean. Salt water. Go figure. 

It was way more fun than I anticipated. I came here wanting to try surfing, then anything else would be a bonus. This was most certainly a bonus. Having never snorkeled before, I didn't have any idea how cool it really is to see all of the fish up close. Naturally, I forgot most of their names, but I remember the colors. Some were bright and patterned while others were more camouflaged in the environment. I did manage to see the official state fish. It's called the Humuhumunukunukuapuaa. Yeah- I had to look that one up...

Amazing times- That's about all I had to say about this one. It was just great. We didn't take any cameras down to the beach, but this is the bay as seen from the parking lot:
