Toxic Waters

http://www.kitv.com/health/26507228/detail.html



You, my readers all know of the beach i call "Heaven".... it has been violated in the worst possible way imaginable.







I am so glad i had the opportunity to introduce you to this little beach...

I am so upset i can barely write this..



I don't know if i will ever be able to enter the water here again.. I am so glad i have pictures...


Must it come down to only pictures to KNOW what we had? Or can we as humans LEARN to LOVE and care for Planet Earth!










Till I take my last breath I will encourage everyone I meet to PLEASE live with great Love for our Planet!!





In this place that I Love........ i am an island gal......

when was the last time u were at Maui? Maui's water is not as nice as it should be... the hotel we stayed in had runoff water from the sewer going straight into the waters near the hotel's surf... the water was murky... Hawaii isn;t the same.,,

This is a crying shame. And the fact that council only wants to shift the blame and doesn't do something to clean it up is even worse. I feel for you.

Don't worry. Both you and the beach will be back. Nature has an amazing ability to cope and repair.

What happened? Was it the rains? Maui is having some severe problems with brown water from the rains. I feel so bad, it can't be good for the ocean.

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...
