I began my Christmas morning with a swim in the clear, glassy, warm ocean and was greeted by at least fifty spinner dolphins. I've really missed them and, apparently, they've missed me.
Maui's Pink Cap swimmers enjoyed clear, flat water for our first swim of winter yesterday. Gray skies seemed to scare some people away, but conditions were great.
We had a mysteriously minnow-school (minuscule) turnout for our Sunday ocean swim yesterday, which mathematically meant more fun per person. Or something like that.
I haven't managed to get many swims in recently, but when I do I have been seeing lots of friendly Green Sea Turtles. And on rare occasions, people too.
Maui's Pink Cap swimmers got to hang out with a different, and very playful, manta ray yesterday. Every time we would begin to resume our swim, it would come right up to us asking to play some more.
Plus, of course, there were all the usual fishies and turtles along the way.
I'm a guy who likes to get out into the ocean several times each week and interact with the creatures I encounter there. I often swim with dolphins, sharks, rays, and whales. Check out my photos on my website: www.TropicalLight.com
