Hawaii - Sunday, day four


We had one place to go today. That was the Harbor to catch a boat ride. The boat had a glass bottom, and we were excited to go over the rocky areas to see all the animal life around the reefs. It was a cloudy day, and when we got out to a good turtle feeding area, the Cap'n lifted the wooden cover over the glass bottom. Sadly, the water was turbid, and so we really couldn't see anything out in the water.

We were lucky to see a small group of dolphins. They were a small breed, and they were pretty close to the shore. They didn't stay long around us.

The boat ride was fun, in that it is just kind of fun to be in a boat, with the water rolling the boat.

The Cap'n lost credibility with me when he said that Sea Turtles are Mammals! That was because they breath air and could stay under water a long time. Honestly, I started looking for Gilligan!

From our hotel room we can see (barely) an entertainment program. Near the end of the show, the men come out to dance with the fire. I tried to get some pics of the fire.

These would be fun to see close up. I have a feeling we will see that kind of entertainment.
