Returning Home

It is time for me to return to the North Shore full time. It is at Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu, that I sit and wait for the tell tale ripples of water that signal the DOLPINS have arrived!



The water calming down from the massive winter waves that just a few weeks ago pounded this side of the island, i return to her shores full time with glee!





I will be subjected to the teasing of the regulars at the Bay who jokingly say, "Wheres the dolphins, Lani?"







I always say in my mind, "There are far worse places I would need to wait!" LOLOL.














This weekend the Bay gave a sneak performance of how magnificent her waters will be!





Clear beautiful water, clean beautiful sand, the sun creating stain glass window like patterns on the sandy sea floor.






And if that isn't enough the days of spring and summer on the North shore of Oahu, end with sunsets that are just magic!

Its hard to believe how clear your water is compared to over here. The viz is awesome. I can also think of a couple of other waiting places that could be worse. Wish I could pull up a chair next to your's.

I can imagine enjoying a lengthy wait on the beach.

In fact that's what I usually call my vacation.

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...
