A gorgeous Maui day and perfect conditions for paddling!  A large manta ray was hanging around  just out from the lifeguard tower so I hung with it for a few minutes.  Another paddler joined me to look at the manta ray and it dove down and was gone!  The visibility of the water is still kicked up due to the continuing swell so I wasn’t expecting to see any fish. Suddenly near the Catamaran anchored out there, I noticed a small brown fish that  was  swimming about near the surface!  I watched it flutter away and continued on.  That was an unusual thing to see.   The only other creature I saw today was an Egret, that let out a loud screech as it flew over me.  I never know when I am going to see something interesting when out paddling, but the tranquility is wonderful!
