Chicken of The Sea<\/p><\/div>\n

Well, we found the biggest chicken on Kauai. \u00a0Here she is.<\/p>\n

APPARENTLY I only love snorkeling when the fish keep their distance. \u00a0In Kona we snorkeled in a bay and in the surf and I loved it both times. \u00a0Here in Kauai we snorkeled several times at Lawai Beach and it is AWESOME and we snorkeled at Tunnels Beach and I was A-OK.<\/p>\n

Po’ipu Beach has a LOT more fish. \u00a0A LOT. \u00a0Schools and schools and schools of them all swimming at me and it’s real shallow so I can’t escape the schools. \u00a0I hated it – freaked me out entirely. \u00a0Death holds no fear for me, but apparently thousands of fish are REALLY scary! \u00a0You will see photos of all the scary fish in a post by Jeremy later. \u00a0He got some great shots underwater at Po’ipu Beach!<\/p>\n

I adore the ocean. \u00a0I love the surf. \u00a0I love to watch fish. \u00a0But it is obvious to me now that I appreciate them much more from land. \u00a0See – you can shoot turtles from above the waves!<\/p>\n

Yes! That is a turtle in the surf.<\/p><\/div>\n

There were a lot of turtles at Poipu Beach including nice cooperative ones<\/a> that came onto the sand to visit with me. \u00a0It is a GORGEOUS beach!<\/p>\n

When Jeremy went back in to snorkel some more (with 400 other snorkelers) I enjoyed shooting the place up from the safety of the sand.
\nI was using the water camera and got some spots on a couple…<\/p>\n

The three pictures below show a spit of sand that leads to a reef of lava rocks. \u00a0The waves break around both sides of the spit and come at you from both directions at once as you walk out to what becomes a tiny island at high tide! \u00a0The third pic is shot from the lava rock reef looking back at the beach.<\/p>\n
