Turtle Canyon, Oahu

We commuted over to Kewalo Basin to do some diving yesterday. Martin loaded up the BCDs, regulators, fins and wetsuits in his panniers. There's a big NW swell coming in right now so the boat ride was pretty rough but we had some good wildlife sightings.


I'm happy to see all the turtles in Hawai'i. In French Polynesia, Tonga and Fiji, they are not protected and still on the menu, so to speak. All the turtles here have migrated from the French Frigate Shoals, hundreds of miles to the west. We're starting to get the boat ready for one more big passage and are planning for a May crossing to San Francisco. One more month of work (and the occasional turtle fly by) and then we're off.
