One thing that I loved about Hawaii was all the Sea Turtles. Sarah and I saw our first one when we were sunbathing on the North Shore. We were out there two hours and occasionally saw something pop its head out of the water. We thought it was an eel or Nessie -- but couldn't quite put our finger on it. We were washing our feet in the water when we discovered (to our delight) that we had met our first bit of tropical wildlife. We named him Ike. The next Sea Turtles we encountered were when we were snorkeling. I tracked this turtle for a while. His name as Ike II -- In the third picture you can see some shell and the light of the surface of the water. That's when I tried to put my arm around him for a close up with my camera and a wave ended up knocking us into the reef. It's a $500 fine for touching Sea Turtles -- so I pushed him off me -- camera hog! and stumbled back to shore with my big flippers, attractive goggles, and saltwater filled mouth.
