Upside Down Land

There was no one on the beach this morning. Understandable since the wind was howling, whipping the ocean into cascading walls of froth. But I had come to swim, so into the water I went.

I hate getting in on rainy days like today, and the swim was a struggle as I swallowed lots of salt water and kept getting pushed off course. But it was worth it. I emerged invigorated and ready to take on the day.

Now, several hours later, the sky is hazy clear and the water is flat and calm. The exact opposite of a normal South Maui day. I haven't seen any whales the past couple of days, but I hear reports of increased sightings every day. Maybe tomorrow...
