Happy Thanksgiving, a couple days late. We hope you all are having a wonderful holiday weekend, even if you have to work. We're eating a ton of leftovers, sadly they are all gone already. The fun isn't quite over for anyone yet, we can all look forward to the Patriots beating the Saints on Monday night! It's like another added bonus to a great holiday weekend. (If you don't know, we're from New England)
The diving has been really nice lately, the water has been very clear. It's starting to get cold again, for Maui. The water is about 76 degrees, burrrrr. You'll all laugh at us again because we're all dressed like it's Antarctica again. As you all know we'd probably be diving in tropical dry suits if we could, but we've been told that sends the wrong image to the people diving with us? Like people don't know that we dive a bit more than most? It is funny when you think about it though, we used to dive thinner wetsuits in Maine in the middle of the winter!
Mike had a pretty cool encounter with a baby turtle at First Cathedral the other day. It was a curious little guy who was very photogenic. Over our time out here we've noticed that baby turtles love the camera, much more so than the adults. Although that's not much different than most human children. At one point Mike set his camera up and passed it to Jarett so that he could actually be in a picture.
We do spend most of our time behind the camera, so it is nice to be in front some of the time. We often wonder if people think we just make these diving stories up? We don't! In fact, we're thinking of making little video clips with us in front of the camera and with voice overs too, more like a real TV show. It'll be practice, please give us some feedback if you have any.
The Molokini Backwall was awesome the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. At the end of the second dive, at about 50 feet, when half of the divers were up on the boat because they were running low on air, 3 Grey Sharks showed up to hang out. It was awesome. We got some pretty cool video clips from the encounter. It's deceiving though, we have a knew wide angle port on our video camera so that nothing looks that close to the camera, when really we were very close to those sharks. See what you think!
Dan's band has been playing well and getting more gigs around the island. We're off to another gig in Kahalui tonight at a place called "Hang Loose," come if you can! We hear that Black Powder might be playing at the Ale House soon too, and maybe once a week at "Life's a Beach" in Kihei. Hopefully, we'll have some recordings we can share with you all soon!
Aloha & Talk soon,
C3
