Unfortunately, when we got there, there was a pretty good swell, the water was a little rough and there were rip tide warnings posted on all the beaches, so we just kept on going over to Laie and went to the BYUH Bookstore and got some things for Rebecca.
Afterwards, we went over to Hukilau Beach and played in the water. Lauri is getting more comfortable with it all the time.
This wave passed by her,
while I was taking these photos,
and then knocked me over.
I did a little snorkeling while Lauri laid in the sun. It was pretty rough on the surface and since this is not a protected area, mature fish were pretty scarce.
Lobe Coral
Green Seaweed (Halimeda discoidea)
Wedgetail Triggerfish
Difficult Sea Cucumber
When we were done playing on the beach and in the water, we drove back to Hale'iwa and had Kiawe Chicken and rice for lunch and a shave ice from Matsumoto's for dessert.
