The turtles in the Maui Ocean Center aren’t nearly as big as my friend the green sea turtle at the Black Rock beneath the Sheraton. Although maybe as big as her littler friend. But people were holding out bits of seaweed to her and she’d eat it out of their hands. I started to disapprove of that, but other people were going up to her to touch her which besides being illegal is just a horrible thing to do to a wild animal, and at least unlike bears they weren’t feeding her hershey bars.

I think we’re going up to Hana tomorrow. Not the whole way, I don’t think, unless we get there and it’s the most magical thing we’ve ever done. Just half way and then maybe stop at Macy’s on the way home for dishes.

I keep bumping my thumb tonight and crimminy it hurts.

They’re basic compensation optics that work well without being precise because of the nature of underwater vision, but even pop your heard out of the water and you can clearly see the shore. I take a 5.5X and most dive shops will have something in your visual range. My wife takes a 3X. You gotta do it.
