Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes; We Snorkel!

Beautiful Kahalu'u Bay is a shallow reef filled bay protected by a breakwater wall. The snorkeling is fantastic. Just off the main coastal road right in Kona the easily accessible beach is usually crowded but the payoff is snorkeling among the many marvelous tropical fish that inhabit the reef. The temperature was about 81 degrees F under clear blue sky. There were too many species to remember - all shapes and colours. It was as if we were swimming inside a tropical aquarium. Then after four hours of baking in the sun we headed back up the mountain to cool, cloudy, and rainy,Waimea. The clouds roll in here in the afternoon and are usually accompanied by an inspirational rainbow. The climate changes quickly as you travel even a short distance. It is interesting how from one place to another on the island the weather can be strikingly different.
