It was a little earlier when we got to the beach today and was not as hot, so there were not as many turtles right up by the beach. It also was a little more choppy and with a little swell.
Still, it did not take very long out in the water snorkeling to find turtles. Because of the sand stirred up by the swell, the photos are a little murky, but. . .
Lauri swam with the turtles while snorkeling with me and Rachel and Cameron.
Once while we were standing about arms length apart talking, a very large turtle decided he was going to swim between us. It was a little startling, especially when he brushed Lauri on the way by!
Rebecca was standing out in the water about waist deep, so we had her take a couple of photos of us. While she was there, a huge turtle swam right up to her and around her and then back down the beach.
After we got out of the water and baked in the sun for just a few minutes, I was afraid we were getting burnt, so we packed up and went up to Matsumoto's in Hale‛iwa for a Shave Ice and then on over to Laie to BYU Hawaii to hit the Bookstore to get shirts.
We had a picnic on the beach at Laie before heading back to the Apartment. We had talked about going to Shark's Cove or Three Tables, but did neither. We all were a little sunburned and worn out.
