GOOD DAY AT THE BEACH

Aloha! Well Jackie and I have enjoyed another great week here on Kauai. The weather wasn't the best early on but as the week progressed it got better and better. It was nice enough by Wednesday for me to get the lawn mowed and that always takes a big load off my mind. It was even nicer on Thursday but Jackie had to work and I was pretty much done in from mowing the lawn so the day was spent inside watching tv with a little computer time thrown in as well. Think the highlight for the day was watching the Boise State -Fresno game. Even though Boise State got thumped rather badly watching my niece Kinzi play always puts a smile on my face. Jackie got home from work in time to catch the last couple of minutes so her day was brightened as well. This mood only lasted until we got the weather report for Kauai. The weather guys put the island under a flash flood watch predicting heavy rains for Thursday night lasting thru most of Friday. Normally we aren't concerned to much by the weather but Friday was Jackie's day off and we were really looking forward to a day at the beach. Guess Jackie must be living a good life and staying on the right side of karma because even though it rained most of the night it wasn't a heavy rain and this morning we awoke to beautiful blue skies. We checked the ocean report to get the info on the tides and to see what we should expect for visibility. The report said only fair so we didn't know if it would even be worth getting in the water. We took our snorkels any way and kept thinking positive thoughts. Being positive must have worked because the conditions were absolutely gorgeous, the best we have seen them in a very long time. They were so nice Jackie and I went out twice for the full snorkel each time. Even going all the way up chicken skin crack, something we rarely do unless the water conditions are ideal. I will try and post a few pics and a short video taken before my underwater camera bit it!
