Day at the beach






Besides the great weather and fun I had a close encounter with a humpback whale. Kevin and I were one-man canoeing out behind the mokulua islands and got very close to a pod of 5 humpback whales. It was sun rise and very quiet, no wind and crystal clear blue water. We saw them far away and thought wow that was neat and kept paddeling. 5 minutes later Kevin and I had to stop in our tracks because the sound of the whales blowing their waterspouts scared us almost off our canoes. We were within 50 yards. We just watched these massive beautiful creatures go right by us. Then the most wonderful thing happened. We heard them singing under the water. Our canoes were echoing the whale songs they were singing. I have never heard this in person before. They sang for a couple of minutes. It truely was a memory I will never forget. At least I hope not. Zachery finally got his left handed golf club today. He hit 2 buckets of balls and was a happy camper. Sydney got to go with mom to the mall and do girl things. Shop of course!!!!!
