Yesterday was so full of shopping, munching and working that I didn't get the chance to blog.  But those following my Nanowrimo progress will be pleased to know that I logged in another 1200 words, pushing my total to 19,642.

I plan to write on the plane home but am also considering a day off as reward for being 1,600 words ahead of goal at this point.  This makes me a bit anxious because it's not "part of the program" so I'm not deciding now.  I'll wait and see which is the stronger driving force--OCD or a desire for rest.

We skipped snorkeling yesterday but had a great time today.  The tide was WAY up (over the rocks by the entry cove for those who've been to Kahalu'u with us) so it was a bit silty toward the shore but when we got out past the surf line, it was gorgeous (and calm the second time).

Lynne saw her first blue fin trevally; her first La'wili'wili and we noticed two cornetfish hanging out above a sea turtle.  They used the turtle as cover for their hunting...pretty crafty.  We saw somewhere between ten and mondo honu...the count varies between us...but they were having fun getting to food that's normally above waterline.  Same with the tang, they were way in.

Our guardian angel was a Hawaiian man on a paddle board.  Every time we turned around, he was there and when we got way out, he kep his eye on us.  When I laughingly told him that Lynne was determined to run into him, he said he was our guardian angel, making sure we were okay.

Great snorkel.  Now for a light clean of the house (some washing and that's about it) and then we're off to the airport and our 2:15 flight to Santa Ana.  Lynne and I considered just not getting out of the water, but we thought it wasn't a practical solution.

We'll just have to come back again!

Aloha for this Girl's Work Week.  See you on the mainland!
