Kauai: Day Fourteen

Always go out with a bang and a bang it was. Today we decided to hit Ke’e Beach one last time and what a day to go. The reef was absolutely perfect. Low tide with a zero swells made the outer reef easily accessable. Anyone know what this means?

The first time I headed out the reef there was a lone turtle hanging out below in a crevasse. After a few minutes he came up for air doing a circle around the shallow reef pool he was in and then went back down into the crevasse, disappearing from sight. So, Autumn and I left the area.

On my second and third trips the reef was full of turtles. I counted at least seven at one point, all of them feeding on the shallow reef while the tide was slowly coming in. What an incredible sight to see. I took so many photos I actually ran out of digital shots for the first time on the trip.

Tonight, we’re packing, getting ready to hop on the plane home tomorrow morning. I imagine it will be a long day as our plane lands at home 8:40PM local time and then luggage pick & car pick up, I don’t expect to be home until midnight.

It’s been a really fun trip, I know Autumn enjoyed it, I wish Aiden would remember it but he’s only 2 ;) Can’t wait to go back and snorkel with turtles.
