It was a picture perfect Sunday morning, so we paddled out from
Makena Landing in hopes of close encounters with turtles and whales.
As any eager kid would, I
baggied the good seat with a clear unobstructed view of the ocean, but I think the
stroker does more work than the steersman?
We were not
disappointed as we did we see turtles and whales (in the distance), not to mention the rare sight of my lily white legs in the mouth of
Moby Dick! And taking of dicks......we ended up at 'little beach' which on a Sunday is a favorite spot for naturists! The plan was to go ashore and hang out (figuratively speaking) take a break and paddle back. However, as the wind picked up so did the probability of my
whining, so we headed rythmically back to base camp one stroke at a time.
Back on land we basked in the sun , enjoying the numerous variations of blues greens, blacks, browns and whites.
Jack Sparrow trying to steal our bounty for his lunch.
A quick prayer before
snorkeling never hurt.....
......especially when exploring the shore break!

Is that the Makenna near Kihei? If it is, you never told me about the naturists!!!!!!!
I like the fact that you're a wimp, better safe than sorry. Tone and I were never Bravehearts when it came to the water - me particularly as I can't swim as you know - but Dad wasn't a water baby particularly.
Talking of which, love the shots of the little boy.

OK Sharon, you infected me with the new camera byg and I am now the proud owner of a Canon Powershot SX10IS. Good Lord, it has a 289 page users guide. I never imagined it would have so many bells and whistles. How do you remember what all those dials and settings do? It doubtless is a wonderful camera and should do almost anything but my initial reaction is to be intimidated by its complexity. I feel like I need to enroll in a post graduate program in electronic gadgetry to be able to use it. What was your learning curve?
Good on you Bill but I can answer part of your question. Sharon's brother Red passed on a photocopied manual and dozens of post-its guiding her through the complexities of the camera. This was required reading over the Xmas holiday (I believe questions were asked on her outdoor lessons). I think you're extremely brave taking on such an awesome beast.
Wow TG; good job! There is a bit of a learning curve and the damn manual it comes with is not particularly helpful.....but patience grasshopper and you will fall in love!
If it makes you feel better it's honestly taken me a couple of months to get in the swing of thing.......plus this is America, you can always return it!
