Day 2 of our Hawaiian Vacation

No pictures unfortunately, I didn't want to take the chance potentially damaging my camera with the salt water.

We took a boating/snokeling trip on Captain Zodiacs tour. The boat was a large life raft with two jet engines attached to the back. Just kidding, but it seemed like it. Two Yamaha 150 horse powered engines pushing the craft about 45 miles an hour in rough seas. We were all sitting along the pontoons of the boat (that was our seats) with one foot slipped under a rope on the floor in case we lost our balance. Too bad I didn't have my camera because we saw a lot of interesting sites. The most impressive was the pilot whales that swam within 2 feet of the boat. We got our history lesson about Captain Cook and how he died. In that very cove is where we slid off the edge of the boat and did some snorkeling. Yes, even Iain was bouncing around in the sea. Surprisingly, the water was a bit on the cold side. This adventure was well worth it. and I would highly recommend this trip. Iain loved the speed of the motion and the bumpy ride.
