Hawaii: on the water
To give the girls a real snorkeling experience, we headed back to Makaiwa Bay one morning and jumped on a cruise on the Winona, a Polynesian sailing catamaran. The spot we were taken to was amazing: deep waters in a beautiful shade of blue with turtles, rays, and schools and schools of fish. One of our guides even caught and brought to the surface a small, brown octopus, which he let the girls touch and name. I was blown away with what I saw under water (on one side of the boat, it looked like that scene of “Finding Nemo” – with nothing but deep blue at the edge of the reef), but what Avery seemed to enjoy the most was the boat itself.
