Wet clay.
Transformation almost complete --from man to fish --
Merman: body-armored against the cold sea.
Bookend: A nod to Moby Dick.

Sea Turtles!
Can you hear the funky music?
Glide.
Flaps down; turtle rising.
Grace.
A favorite shot.
Zoom
The new amphibious camera -- an Olympus TG-4 -- has an excellent close-up feature.
I'm swimming at a respectful distance from this spotted eagle ray, but the camera puts us closer.

The View From Cook's End
A gorgeous view from a sacred location, sacred to the ancient and modern Hawaiians.
The cross marks the spot where Captain Cook met his end,
marking a different sort of sacred spot for certain Euro-descended people.
Also, according to our guide, Makai, that stone plaque came loose during a winter storm and had to be recovered before being lost to the waters. An earlier bronze plaque commemorating Capt. Cook's life and death disappeared (salvaged, recycled) during WWII, I believe.
