I set the alarm for 5:30, but we both woke up just before it went off & started getting ready for our trip. A quick little breakie, some coffee & off we go to Kaunakakai Town & the Coral Queen. We get there ok and wait on some others & it ends up being 14 people. We all get gear, half wetsuits & some instruction..not quite like the Pacific Whale Foundation, but Capt Tim is an ok dude. About a 15 minute boat ride to our first spot where there are lots of turtles (Honu's). KK's ok so far. A nice spot and a few Honu's too, but the reef fish are really good! An hour here and we're pretty cold when we get out. Now another ride to the 2nd spot & KK starts to get a little "ill" & puking in the ocean! I missed it but maybe the fish ate well. Anyway, this spot was FAB! Lots of great coral, thousands of fish & even more Honu's! It was pretty deep on the outside, maybe down to 30' & some neat sand trails where the turtles rested. Even a few Humu's! Somw people got stung by some very small jelly fish...not bad but left some spots. Steve's hands went numb from just cold water & the exercise, but most of us were shivering when we got out. We had cold drinks but no hot chocolate or coffee. We're at the pier by 10:15 & KK is not well, so back to the condo & get her back in shape. The rest of us crash with a strong power nap, a shower & prepare to go to town to get supper & check out a hiking location for Wednesday. I finally go down & check in at the office, so we're official now. Into town & The Moloka'i Outdoors shop & she gives us a number for the "flower Guy" in the Halawa Valley so we can do the hike..Thanks! Over to the Paddlers Inn to order supper..Texas BBQ! Some more shopping & then up to our condo on the west end. KK is better, but skips supper. Our BBQ is really good, with ribs & pulled pork sliders, cole slaw & fries. Also, cold Longboards & another FAB sunset! OK, now it's bedtime, or almost, so I'll fix breakie tomorrow, but first, let's sleep in!
