Since there is a chance of big waves, even on this side of the island tomorrow – I made sure to get a swim in today.
Conditions were still silty, but, I went to the best possible visibility location and found some nice tangs – yellow and lavender.
Actually, I have seen more fish this year. Reasons? Well, the corals that had a massive bleaching event a couple of summers ago seem to be recovering. And, commercial aquarium collecting has been drastically curtailed.
So, today’s activities.
- Drink coffee and visit with the hotel night auditor. She had a troublesome guest arrested last night. That was news to me.
- DIY Yoga – I decided that maybe I am too competitive for my own good. Maybe going to the millennial yoga class was a bad idea. Maybe “I’ll show those whippersnappers – the old woman can still bring it” wasn’t doing my 75 year old body any good. So, I did yoga in my room.
- DIY Avocado “Toast” – Since the wetsuit is still rather, shall we say, snug – decided that I should cook my own breakfast. So, I made avocado toast – without the toast. Living on the wild side – used Romaine lettuce instead.
- Snorkel
- Soak in tub
- Lunch (turkey sandwich) and watch surfing on TV
- Origami and watch surfing on TV
- And now it is 4:30. As soon as I finish this, it will be time to go out on the lanai and read a while.
And that boys and girls, is my exciting life. Not complaining. Feeling very grateful.
