After an early morning surf, I went to clean Mayuki.  I started the engines to make sure it started, then decided to take it out for a fast run to Diamond Head.  I stopped in the middle of Waikiki, jumped in the blue ocean with my mask to check the engines and bottom paint.  Then in the corner of my eye, I see 3 big objects swimming towards me.  OMG, dolphins!  

They kept on surrounding me as I was frozen still watching their moves.  I made eye contact with one of them and started to make my dolphins noises, trying to communicate.  They were very curious.

Moments later, the huge pod came right by to check me out.  A wall of dolphins swimming so freely in their beautiful ocean.  They looked so calm, so happy, and so free.  Another magical moment in ocean nature.
