Boat Trip

Scat participated in a service project in his ward, which entitled him to discount tickets on a speed boat ride. He invited us to come (this was 26 April). So me, Dolly, Scat, and Flora went - the fantastic four! (I just made that up...we could use a better name!) Normally, this ride is like $60, but we got to go for 15. Not bad! I was a little disappointed actually, but it's probably because I enjoyed the whale watching tours much more. This boat was quite large, and more comfortable to sit on, but not as fun.

It was obvious it was geared towards tourists. They were making a big deal about being able to see turtles (which we didn't). I guess when you realize that you can see them at about any beach in Hawaii, its not quite as novel as it was before.

We did see a lot of dolphins, some large spinner dolphins. These were much larger than the ones I saw on the whale tours. They followed the ship for quite a while, and started jumping and spinning from the water. Some of the dolphins could spin around almost 3 times in the air before hitting water again! I didn't have the camera, so I didn't get any good photos. I was just enjoying it instead. Flora at least got some dorsal fins on digi-film!

After the boat trip, we went to the swap meet. I got a few thing to add some personality to the Jeep. The photo speaks for itself! Ha ha!

We've made quite a few trips in the Jeep. It has definitely allowed for a few more fun activities than before. Its fun to go on double dates and go see different places here on the island. Jeep makes it happen (easier)!
