Tried snorkelling today at the surf beach. Lots of people and it turns out there was actually a wake in the beach pavillion so it seemed really busy. A popular spot at the best of times, but was really crowded.
Went for a quick snorkel and had to get away from the crowds to really see anything. Lots of fish, as good as anywhere but really sad to see people standing on the coral with their fins instead of floating above. Screams out for a Hanauma Bay type intervention - make it a park, teach people how to swim with the coral and enforce it. i was keeping one eye on Cat and Dad at the beach, and another enjoying all the fish underneath. Looked ahead and saw honu just cruisin' by. Had the waterproof camera with me and tried to get some pics to share it with you. Didnt really work out though.
Cat didnt think much of her swim so we headed out. Walked to lunch at the Kona Brewing Co to enjoy some of my fave Hawaiian beer. The beer was great as always, but our meal took a really long time, the order got lost, and then a shift change. We noticed the chaos and confusion, and were told we'd be looked after. And we sure were - a bill with our two drinks on it. A free pizza surprisingly and graciously offered with no prompting or requests. That's how to keep customers happy.
