The surf wasn't too impressive, but there was plenty to watch. See the people at the left? They, and we, were mesmerized by whales showing off in the ocean. We watched for over an hour. We've seen more whales offshore in Oahu than any other island. I get a thrill every time I see one.
Even some of the surfers were watching.
This is something new for me - a gif. I hope to use more of them. Tell me what you think.
Then we spent an hour or so snorkeling in these tide pools.
I didn't have photos when I talked about the housing situation in "Surferville." Here are three examples of the type of accommodations for people who live on the north shore. Of course, most surfers and bogey boarders who hang out on the beach drive in or take the bus.
I could see myself spending the winter in a place like this.
Across the road from the beach, this is more like the housing where many surfers crash.
And then there's this. No, it's not me!
On the drive back to the apartment we stopped at an pulloff looking down on Waimea beach.
At the left end of the beach is a big rock where local youths like to prove their bravery.
Click on the image to play. Unfortunately, there was no one available to film Diana and me as we jumped off. Ha.
