Jellyfish Today

The first swimmers left a warning.

I went out for a swim early this morning and found:

  1. No one in the water
  2. No gear stashed in the rack
  3. A friendly warning
  4. Look around – box jellies.

So, not a good day for me to swim out. I have an irrational fear of jellyfish. (Nevermind that once I went to Chicago just to see a jellyfish exhibit.)

Our Hawaiian box jellyfish are related to the Australian box jellies. But not as vicious. Also, ours come like clockwork 8-10 days after the full moon. They will be gone tomorrow.

Try don't look so bad on the beach.

Started packing for the Way Back train trip. I packed my iPad with audiobooks. (The trip is a month away. Start packing early!)
