Beautiful Haleiwa Sunset!

So we have been on Oahu since Friday and I haven’t paddled once!  The first day we went to the North Shore I was looking so forward to swimming in Waimea Bay (one of my most favorite places in the world) and when we got there, the water was dirty from run off from the mountain since it rained recently. I was so disappointed, but swam back stroke anyway (hey I was desperate!)  The next day was windy and cloudy and it looked like it might storm so we stayed in town.  Today we drove over to the north shore and the water was much clearer!  I couldn’t wait to get in the water.  I usually swim down to the rocks and enjoy all the fish, but that direction was not as clear.  I decided to go towards the big rock that people jump off of and I ended up in a huge school of bait fish (there were hundreds of them!)  Then I ran into two turtles and swam along with them for a few minutes, it was great!  That made my day.  We drove down to the Haleiwa beach park to watch the sunset and what a treat!  The sky was pink, purple, gray, orange…. and it looked like cotton candy at the fair.  What a great end to a nice day!  Enjoy the photo!
