Aloha! Things have been pretty quiet for Jackie and I. I think we have made it to the beach once since the last of our guests left. Not real sure why we have decided to hole up here at the house as the weather has been great...light trades and temps in the low 80's. Of course if you ask Jackie she will tell you the main reason we haven't left the house is because I am too lazy. So far I have been unable to convince her that all I'm trying to do is save up my energy for our trip home. Some how she has come up with this queer idea that you can't save up your energy before hand and that all you can do is rest and recover after your energy has been spent. Now all of you who know me will understand just how alien this concept sounds to me as I have spent my entire adult life saving my energy up for when I get old. At least thats my story and I'm sticking to it! The pictures I posted today were taken on our boat trip around the Napali coast. We did this trip with Dr. Mary when she was here. Dr. Mary chartered the Sea Breeze and there were 15 of us who took this trip. I must say I was really impressed with the boat captain and the gentleman he had crewing. They did a wonderful job of making sure everyone was as comfortable as possible. They were real good at pointing out things and letting us have enough time to look. They were also very well informed about the history of the area and were more than willing to share this info with us
. Of course the best part of the trip was the Napali coast itself. The pictures just don't do the place justice. All I can say is it was awesome! There was unbelieveable beauty every where you looked. We dropped anchor near a beach on the southern end of the coast and we snorkeled for close to an hour. The snorkeling could have been better as the water clarity was just fair but the sandwiches were great and we ran into a few dolphins on the way home. The trip back was a bit rougher but not too bad. Jackie and I got the biggest kick out of watching Nicole's son Drew. He is about 9 or 10 years old and every time the boat would get airborn off the waves he would giggle and laugh then grin like a possum. Bet he grinned more on that 45 minute ride back than he did on his entire trip!
