I Can Not Believe It!

Remember the blog about the boats sitting in the Bay taking off all at once? WELL ONE of those boats took a real fast video of one of the dolphin passes thru the Bay that day!
The dolphins will make a couple of passes in and out of the Bay, this is one of them. I can remember when it was just me and the dolphins, now its like an obstacle course out there. I think at this particular time I am to the right of the screen in front of the gal on the surfboard. I remember looking up and seeing her headed straight for me.LOLOL.... Almost all of the people in the water are seeing their first wild dolphin. They just happened to be at the beach on this day. It is ALWAYS fun to watch the reactions around me. Some people laughing, some people crying, some people screaming, ALL the people happy ! It is magic.

And this picture is one of the pictures I took that day. I CANNOT BELIVE that we can see whats going on ABOVE water while I show you what i see under water. Notice the sun on the water in the video and the sun shining thru in the picture! =0)


I am an island gal.....

What a beautiful picture of your daughter. I have not seen her in a long time. How do you come across so many dolphins? In all my years of snorkeling, I never did. You truly are a island girl, Please don't ever give up this blog. It is my only connection to the place I love and miss.

I want to Thank all of you for the loving and warm comments. To me each one of you is very special! i find it amazing that we have all found each other thru a common interest. The Ocean and her creatures truly we are all blessed with their presence.

Dave.. its funny cuz on this day as i got out of the water a woman approached
me and said," HOW do you get the dolphins to come to you?" It was a HARD ? for me because all im doing is singing. I had up until 7 years ago like you lived here and NEVER seen a wild dolphin up close. Everytime i am out there i wonder WHY this is happening! Maybe one day i will figure out the answer.

The Splash

Image
The water in the Bay has calmed down enough for me to swim into the big cave at the bay. I enter the crystal clear water of a little bay that's sits within the Big bay and made my way toward the cave. The tides are still high, the ocean not quite ready for the low low tides of summer. I enter the big cave that is still partially filled with water. The tide is pushing me in and out of the cool cave like a ride at the carnival! In and out... in and out of the cave, all the while I'm trying like crazy to get a picture from the inside of the cave looking out. It was on my 20Th trip with the tide back into the cave that I heard the splash behind me. Now, for me a splash behind me causes my heart to immediately start racing. Why? well when sharks feed they have a certain tail movement that causes a splash. I hear the splash and my brain goes into overdrive, "LANI", my brain screams, "DON'T look back,just swim to shore".. i feel my legs getting weak.. "LAN...

Swims with Scissors

The weather here on Oahu has been yucky for the last week so I was surprised yesterday the 15th to see that the breezes had returned , the sky was blue and when i checked the surf report the waves on the North shore had calmed way down. I ventured down to the turtle rock i had been having so much fun at. I had seen the turtle below on my first day at the turtle rock. He had gotten snagged in fishing line and it was all over his neck, head and flippers. It so upset me I got out of the water, hurried into the bustling, little beach town of Haleiwa, to get the number to the turtle hot line here on the island. When i got home I threw a pair of first aid scissors in my beach bag and made a mental note that if I saw a turtle who was in trouble I would do the best i could to help. I am not a professional and I know that good intentions are not always enough. You have to KNOW what you are doing. I could hurt a turtle more than help it so i needed to use my head. He was at the rock yesterday an...
