Happy Hawaiian Dolphin Day….

322

good evening. gosh, what a dark, rainy day again we had here today. the waves were junk on the north shore. i called matchi this morning and asked how the waves were. he said “owatteru”, which means “finished” in english. in surfers slang, it means “super shitty”. i just checked the surf forecast now and it’s looking “owatteru” for a while. winds back strong tomorrow with some rain along with it. and no big swells…. “owatteru”….
no surf? go dive! went out with my brother and friend brandon out to waikiki. caught some fish, not too much, but enough for dinner. on the way out, seen this pod of dolphins. probably 30 or more just cruzing around. had my pocket dig. camera so jumped in to swim around with them. check out these photos…

this is one of the 2 pods. not ipods you know. haha.. pods of dolphins means a lot of them. they were just cruzing around swimming at a slow pace…

then the other pod swam by me. gosh, it was pretty awesome…. haven’t done this in a while….

i took 4 photos and this one is the best one, a keeper. no this is not a wyland painting, this is a photo from my olympus 790sw pocket camera. must be a couple? i wanted to kick myself in the ass because if i had my good canon camera in my housing, i would have gotten sick ass shots…. but you know what? i know where they are everyday so i can go back again. and today was dark and cloudy anyway. so here’s my next mission, to go back out there on a sunny day with my good camera and get some sick ass shots. but first, i need a mermaid. any volunteers? haha…
