Chilly in the ocean today…

From the bay this afternoon.

I was chilly even with the wetsuit on. I saw a fine eel – but no pictures. 

The regulars – orange stipe surgeon fish policing the bottom. They look chilly to me!

Today I sent my irreplaceable lauhala papale, (Straw hat to you mainlanders) And my new lauhala honu (Straw turtle) back to The Asylum today. The papale is too important to risk on the Aussie adventure – I am having my dorky hat sent to me here in Kona.  Funny, the two hats could pass each other in some airport or the other.

While at the UPS Store – I printed out all of my tickets and reservations for the trip. 69 pages. I wish I didn’t have to print it all out. But, sometimes a piece of paper just works better than an image on a cell phone. Not sure how good cell/internet will be. Not to mention keeping things charged up. So. good. old school paper.

Speaking of old school. About teens and Tide Pods. WTF? In my day we did sensible things. Like drag racing on public roads. Oh and what about playing car “chicken”? And, we fervently  hoped that Coke (the beverage) was an effective spermicide.

    So looking forward to your trip ! I find the kids eating laundry detergent disturbing as well !!! Crank calls and stealing my parents booze was enough for me
