EPIC

I've heard the surfers use the word "epic " to describe the unusual and occasional winter like surf that rolls into the North Shore during summer.. And that's exactly what the last 2 days have been... "epic". Larger than normal surf in the warmer summer waters of the North Shore have had the surfers running for their boards and the waves... For me the epic came when this week, all of a sudden, a turtle I haven't seen in quite a while suddenly shows up... He takes such beautiful pictures I was just delighted to see him... Two completely different "epics" coming from one big beautiful massive "Epic" Ocean!! I am an island gal.......

Just shows you that epic doesn't have to be something big and adventurous. I would call such an encounter epic as well.

Wonderful turtle photo. I haven't been too crazy about all the surf because the water's too murky for safe swimming. I am really happy to see you back in the water where you belong

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!
