Blue Water Rafting.

What a day. We went on a small raft with 17 other people to Molokini and did some snorkeling on the back side. This side is one of the 10 best wall dives in the world. A 300 foot drop. No way to see the bottom. The fish are plentiful, the water moves us around constantly. It was awesome. I had a little trouble with water in my mask so I tool the opportunity to just take photos.
Along the way, we saw a whale. Awesome. My first! Later we saw a pod of dolphins. Spinners. The babies are about 2 feet long. You can just hear the sound effect "Wheeeeeeeee" when they jump out of the water. Perfect. A great day.

The adventure begins

Here I am, back on Maui. Why I don't live here (yet) is the question of the day. I like myself better when I am here. There are places for all of us in the world where when we are there, it is as if a light switch goes on in our body. This place for me is as if I were plugged into the ground.  This is my happy place. I am here until 16 January. This should give me enough time to look honestly and why I am so resistant to take the leap.
I am staying somewhere new for me...a nice condo in Kihei gardens. The first thing I learned upon waking up this morning is that a view of the ocean is essential for me. Don't get me wrong. Waking up and being able to go outside and listen to the mynah's and see the mountain, and know the beach was a short 5 minute walk away?  Priceless. AND the view of the water is essential. It grounds me. Even when I lived in SF, going to the beach was the thing that made me happiest. And then living in San Diego~the few months I lived inland were horrid. Face it, I am a made for the beach, water girl.
So, here I am for 3 weeks. The first 2 will be with Len and Jacob. Time for the beach, a tattoo, some whales, and for me to create a habit of writing on this blog.
Goodnight to all, and to all a good night!
