Kapalua Bay, Again, May 1

We spent the day snorkeling at Kapalua Bay, for a second time.  It was a rather windy day, but in the bay it was sheltered enough that snorkeling was good.  We started snorkeling up the north (right) side of the bay, then I crossed over to the left while Enid went in.  After lunch we went out again, this time in the opposite direction.

A very large turtle surfaced right beside Enid.  She didn’t see it coming up from behind her and it surprised her.  The turtles certainly aren’t afraid of people, as they swim right beside you, then dive down and lodge themselves under a coral ledge and rest.
