Monday was the day I was waiting for. I really wanted to go swimming and so far we did not have a chance to get near the ocean. We boarded the boat at 9:00 to go snorkeling in Kealakakua Bay. I was surprised how many people fit on that little boat.
The water was gorgeous and blue and we headed out to sea.
Extremo thought he was an old hand and hung out with Captain Mitch.
"I'm King of the World!"
Laura was considering her snorkeling options. "Go, no go, go, no go, go, no go..."
After a light breakfast and a short boat ride we arrived at Kealakakua Bay. I knew the song but didn't realize this was the spot that we Hawaiian kine folks offed Captain Cook. The monument was very subtle but fit right into the scenery. The bay is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. It is a marine life reserve.
Poor Judi was battling sea sickness all morning. She thought eating a little would help but it didn't. She thought swimming would help but it didn't. The crew guy gave her a little bit of candied ginger that was supposed to help but it didn't. She finally just blew chunks and even that didn't help.
Extremo jumped off the top of the boat. The water was about 18 ft. deep.
Don't know what was wrong with him but he just kept jumping off the boat!
I on the other hand decided snorkling was not for me. I tried it and it was kinda scary so they gave me a viewing box and an inner tube and I was good to go. That was luxurious. I swam with the fins on with the box in the water to see the fish and stayed in the Bay for about 2 hours until it was time to leave.
Scot didn't care for the snorkling gear either. After about 4 hours we headed back to the pier to get ready for final night of festivities -- the luau!
