Our plan yesterday was to kayak in Hilo Bay, but the day started off raining hard, so DH turned over and went back to sleep. We then decided to visit Nani Mau gardens, a local botanical garden we had not yet seen. Closed (apparently for good…..).
“Let’s go to Kapoho,” he said.
So we did. It was a great day for snorkeling. Clear, warm, sunny and LOTS of fish….including those two below. I was so excited by finally getting a picture of the toothy, sometime aggressive moray eel (not to mention his partner, the usually shy peacock grouper), that I exited the water and burst into song: (with apologies to Dean Martin….)..
When the eel swims the sea, that’s a place not to be….that’s a moray!
When he sways to and fro with his jaws set to “go”……that’s a moray!
Nibble, nibble, bite. Teeth will give a fright, so I won’t pick a fight—just get out of sight of …..the moray.
Fish will flee, so will we from a big scary sea filled with moray!
OK guys…. Found you! I ran into Jim Rho last week here in San Diego for a conference.Started me thinking about the people I met from Reno. I still see Maruja, but thought of you! Then to find out you are on the Big Island!! I have had a condo in Waikaloa since 2003…. Small world. Don’t get over there as much as I would like but I have several friends, some even in Hilo that live there…..Glad to hear that you are all well! Lise
Took me a minute and I had to say it out loud, but I got it!. (I’m kinda slow some times). You make me smile, silly Chele
