The cove of sharks


Wow, waaaayyyy overdue for an update!  I'm really trying to keep up with this blog, not only for people I share it with, but for myself!  I want to remember all of the cool things we do.

So here's another one for the books :)

I've fallen in love with snorkeling... Michael has always loved it, but it's really all new to me.  I'm not a great diver or swimmer, but I've taken to it and now there is no turning back!  We go snorkeling at least once every weekend and I've gotten so much better--I owe it all to Michael though.  He's really awesome in the water and I'm grateful that he was especially patient with me (so out of character! haha) while I was learning!  Needless to say, we invested some money into buying nice gear (notice all of mine is pink and Michael's is gamecock colors hehe) for our excursions.  We also splurged (happy birthday to me) on a nice underwater camera-- TOTALLY worth it!





Anyways, Shark's cove is the BEST place to snorkel (well, that we've found so far)!  It's located on the north shore near Wiamea Bay:


We've also gone to Hanauma Bay, Electric Beach, Lanakai, Three Tables and Chun's Beach to snorkel-- but I'll have to write another post about those :)

We were very lucky when we went to sharks cove on this particular day because we got to swim with a Hawaiian Monk Seal!  There are only 1,400 of them in the whole world!  We saw lots of cool fish and sea turtles too.






I'm pretty sure we did this all during Memorial Day weekend because I had time to make this little video... check it out:

So, there is a little update of some stuff we've been doing lately... more to come soon!
