Keeping It Green
Turtle/Laniakea Beach is famous for having sea turtles visit during the warm hours of the day to dry themselves out, get some sun and rest up a bit. To tell you the truth, it’s not the place to snorkel and see these beautiful creatures in the water, as the waves are usually rough, the current strong, or the visibility is poor in comparison to Shark’s Cove, just down the road. But it’s possible.
On this particular day, there were three turtles on the beach sunning, and one in the breakers looking for a boyfriend before her 500 mile trip back to the French Frigate Shoals where she’ll lay some eggs if she finds a male before then.
I couldn’t decide which crop I liked best, so here goes another one on Flickr (see below).
Have a great week!

Turtle Blue
Snorkeling at the North Shore’s Shark’s Cove was one of the highlights of our trip. We’d be there for a few hours each day swimming around with turtles, seeing Hawaiian Monk seals, and enjoying all of the other sea life. It was magical!

Just Keep Swimming
One of the most memorable swims I had at Shark’s Cove was with a juvenile sea turtle, who while fighting the waves and current, would eat mossy seaweed attached to large lava rocks.
After one particular wave came crashing in, both myself and the turtle would swim against the surge, and in the particular photo I caught it just right with the bubbles of the wave and light from above. It looks to me as if the turtle is about to hit warp speed!

Lunch Time
A juvenile sea turtle hunts for green mossy seaweed to eat during lunch time on the North Shore of Oahu in Shark’s Cove.
Snorkeling is such a blast. On this day, the waves were quite rough, and tossed this sea turtle back and forth 20-30 feet with each surge. I’d lose it for 30-40 seconds sometimes.
Hope you’re having a wonderful summer!
