Along with our friend Markus, we spent 30 minutes underwater at a maximum depth of 13 feet. We went to a spot we call the turtle pools, so named because there used to be a lot of green sea turtles that hung out on the sandy bottom munching seagrass (that is, until the poachers got them). Unfortunately no sea turtles, but we did get to see a whole bunch of cool stuff, including bright blue Linckia starfish, damselfish, a large porcupinefish (bottom photo), as well as one of Emma's favorite fish.... the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, also known as the Huma Huma or simply, the Picasso triggerfish (top photo).
After we took care of our dive gear we got out the cookbook and decided to make a pound cake. While we didn't use the old pound of everything recipe, the recipe we used did turn out really well. In celebration, Melanie joined us and we had a lovely tea party.A round of "Go Fish", and the day was at an end. All in all a very good day.
