Monday the 19th. Today was our anniversary. We got up early (although the first 3 days I was waking up at 5:00-5:30 everyday and couldn't get back to sleep b/c my body was thinking it was 10:30-11:00 in Michigan) and had to be to the wharf by 7 a.m. We took a 4 Winds tour to Molokini Crater snorkeling. This turned out to be great b/c we saw so many whales on the way to the crater to snorkel.
As you can see we could've almost touched the humpback in the second picture. It swam right under out boat and surfaced right next to us! It was beautiful. The reason we saw so many whales is that the Humpback whales leave Alaska and swim to Hawaii in the winter to give birth. They stay in Hawaii for the winter before returning to Alaska. I think I heard or read that the babies gain like 100 lbs. a day and the mothers dont eat at all. They live off their fat all winter. ( I was wondering if that would work for me????) Anyway, the whales (which I was least exctited about) were amazing!.
