Water and Sand

We are on the evening of our third full day here in Kona. Man, I could really get used to this life. Yesterday we did our first 2 dives of 10 on this trip. We went with Jack's again, a first-rate outfit. We were a little nervous at first, but it's like riding a bike, we got right back into it. We saw quite a few eels, including a monster one about 10 inches thick. One of the guides, Ron, is a great guy and we had fun talking to him during the surface interval and on the way back to the harbor. He guides for Jack's every summer.... sounds like a good gig to me.






Today was a beach day. Hapuna Beach, one of the best on the Big Island. Huge stretch of silky white sand and water so clear you can almost snorkel without sticking your head in the water. We came to do some boogie boarding, and while the forecast promised "extreme" surf, we found it was fairly tame. 3 or 4 big waves, then a stretch of 10 or 15 minutes of nothing. But the big waves delivered. I wiped out a few times, and I brought half of the beach back to the condo with me. You know it's a good day if you're cleaning sand out of your ears in the shower. And other unmentionable places.






Oh, and can I just say that LASIK rules. Finally no worries about contacts in the surf. So, I tried to post some video but Blogger is pissing me off and not functioning, so I'll have to try again tomorrow. Night night!

EDIT: OK I finally figured out the video.
