Day Two

Learning to Relax

We Slept in until 7:00 AM, which doesn't sound late, until one realizes that we are three hours behind Tucson. W walked North along the shore. The sun had already been up for a while, so we didn't get to see the sunrise.


We ate a light breakfast, and prepared to drive out to the North coast. We drove through a few towns that all start with W, Including Waimea, which is where the big surf wares are.
We drove to the Turtle Bay Resort and decided to snorkel there. The water was wonderful. The fish were sparse. The Coral was most amazing. We saw more species and colors in the coral than we had experienced prior. The coral pollups were also "in bloom", ready to send out new eggs or spores or whatever coral sends out.
This was beautiful spot, but the varity of sea life was limited. We drove down to Sunset beach and took a few pictures.
We drove back to Shark's cove and were AMAZED. We immediately experienced the kind of sea life we have come to expect on Maui. The fish were mature and the schools of fish were huge.
Normally the swimmers will follow a turtle around, but the turtle was following Kayleen. She started to get spooked. It wasn't as big or as old as we have seen before, but it was very large and had a banked up shell. We got weveral excellant pictures of the turtle, which we will post when they are developed. Shark's Cove gets an A+ as a spot for snorkeling. We will go back either Thursday afternoon or on Friday.

We drove back through the traffic to the hotel. We ate a very large lunch and rested. We walked south through a Hawaii rain and saw a dead eel on the rocks.

We sat outside in the cool, cloudy air, and held hands. We bought a salad to eat in the room which was just about perfect. We have called this the morning and evening of the second day, and it was an excellant day.
