Day Five

Final Day this trip

We drove out to Hanamumu bay. I will get the spelling correct at some point. It is a national wildlife preserve, so the snorkeling was fantastic. The fish were huge and plentiful. The water is mostly calm, and the whales come way in during the winter months.

We saw a whole school of what kinda looked like sand sharks, except for the triangular body shape. The fins looked very similar to shark. The gills even liiked life gill slits rather than covered gills.

We probably swam out 1/2 mile and then back. On the way back, we saw a spotted morey eel haning out in his hole. There are supposed to be a lot of octopi and squid, but we didn't see any of those. Anyway, we spent two hours and it was AWESOME!.

This was a wonderful day, but we have to go home tomorrow. We will probably be back.

I know I shouldn't be jealous, but I'm jealous. We've had some good times in Hawaii :)
