Yokohama Bay

Each weekend we have tried to pick a different part of the island to explore. Yesterday we spent the day at Yokohama Bay (also known as "pray for sex beach"), it is on the north western side of the island. It was different than a lot of the beaches we have been to. The beach was steep and since we were on the northern side of the island, the waves were big with a strong under current. If you were standing on the beach when the waves came in it would pull you right out and the next wave would push you back in. The water was crystal clear which made for great snorkeling. There weren't too many fish but lots of pretty seashells to collect.

The kids have really taken to snorkeling, Cole's teacher says that is all that he talks about. All of his writings and stories are about snorkeling, last weekend we went snorkeling at Wahaiwa and saw two large sea turtles. When he gets excited you never hear the end of it, we have been hearing about those turtles multiple times a day for a week straight. The turtles are protected so they come in very close to shore, they aren't scared of you....you can float above them and watch them forever. One of these days we will take a picture of one.
