This gull followed the fishing boat I was on for a chance to share in a bit of bait. For much of this time, it was able to glide effortlessly while we toiled against the current.

The Wave He Didn’t See Coming: A Tourist’s Baptism by Surf 🌊♂️
He waded out with wide eyes and cautious steps, lulled by the beauty of the Hawaiian shore and the thrill of doing something new. Behind him, the surf built silently—an elegant momentous wall of water gathering strength, ready to remind him that paradise has its own rules. He turned to look back, perhaps for reassurance, perhaps to share the moment. But the ocean had other plans.
What followed was a blur of foam, flailing limbs, and laughter from the beach. His pride took a hit, his swim trunks nearly did too, and the lesson was clear: never underestimate the undertow. Later, over dinner or decades from now, this moment will resurface—not as embarrassment, but as one of those stories that define a trip. Because sometimes, the best travel memories are the ones that humble us, soak us, and leave us smiling long after the tide has gone out.
A young boy eagerly pushes off on a wooden board, smiling as he glides across the shallow water. In the background, three other children watch from the water's edge, with stilt houses visible in the distance. The image captures a playful and carefree moment in a coastal setting.
A couple stands poised on the deck of a sleek lighter, the morning sun casting soft reflections across the calm waters of Honolulu Bay. With the American flag fluttering above and the vast Pacific stretching out before them, their destination lies just beneath the surface—a waiting submarine, surfaced on station offshore, ready to plunge into the mysteries of the seabottom.
Dressed for adventure, they share a quiet moment of anticipation, the horizon promising a journey into the deep blue unknown. It’s a snapshot of exploration, intimacy, and the allure of oceanic discovery.

Psalm 8:1
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
We had a fabulous afternoon Whale Watching with Ocean Ecoventures out of Cowichan Bay. Worth it for the RIB ride never mind actually seeing Orca!
Michael relaxing on a tropical paradise beach in the Yaeyama island group of Okinawa prefecture, Japan. The tropical water was extremely clear allowing fantastic snorkelling amongst the coral reef that surrounds the secluded island - Aragusuku. The white sand beach and perfect blue sky topped it all off - paradise!
The Yaeyama island group is blessed with lush tropical rainforests, perfect white sand beaches with crystal clear water, jungle waterfalls, rivers, untouched mangrove forests, wildlife in abundance and marine life that will blow you away!
The Yaeyama island group can be reached via a three hour flight from Tokyo to Ishigaki island. From Ishigaki there are numerous ferries that will take you to the different islands.

With sunlight glinting off the waves and engines roaring beneath the hull, the SCARAB slices through the water like a flame in motion. Seven passengers ride the rush—hands raised in greeting, hearts racing—as the wake unfurls behind them in a trail of pure exhilaration.
It’s not just a boat; it’s a statement of speed, style, and freedom. On this stretch of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, leisure meets velocity, and every second is a celebration of life at full throttle.

From this angle it doesn't look like the rock was that far out - but I still had to get my feet in the ocean several times. The cold was shocking at first, even though you mentally try to prepare yourself. Then the coldness lends a burst of energy [in photos I won't be posting...haha] that lasts for about 20 minutes.

Psalm 16: 8-10
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my
right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad
and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, 10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, [a] nor will you
let your Holy One [b] see decay.

AQUARIUM CELEBRITY. Visitors watch and take photos of South American Sea Lion swims on its back from the World of Discovery Aquarium in Ocean Adventure, South East Asia's only open-water marine park in Subic, Ilanin Bay, Philippines on January 14, 2012.
Common name: South American Sea Lion
Patagonia Sea Lion
Scientific name: Otaria byronia
Otaria flavescens
Males: Weight 300 to 340 kg
Length 2.3 to 2.8 meters
Females: Weight 140 to 150 kg
Length 0.73 to 0.85 meters
Newborns: Weight 10 to 15 kg
Length 0.73 to 0.85 meters
Distribution: West and East Coast of South America, from Northern Peru around the Southern tip of South America, up to Southern Brazil.
Physical Features: They are generally a shade of brown to golden with some variation in individuals. Adult bulls have a dark brown coat with a long mane of course fur surrounding their neck and chest. Females have a lighter brown to golden coat. Both males and females have lighter bellies.
Breeding Season: Mid December to mid January
Reproduction: Like other sea lions, these animas have what is called “delayed implantation”. That means that males and females come together in December and January. At that time the pregnant females give birth, and they also breed with a male. However, the egg is not implanted inside her body for another 3 months. That allows the female to begin nursing and caring for her newborn pup before she becomes pregnant again. Males and females become sexually mature between 5 to 9 years, although some animals have given birth at younger ages. Once the egg is implanted, gestation is around 9 months. Mothers nurse their young for up to 9 - 12 months.
Longevity: Animals in the wild have been documented to live 12 to 18 years on average. Animals in captivity often live longer, with some living up to 25 years.
Conservation Status: The populations of these sea lions are widely distributed through out South America. The population is considered stable at around 300,000 individuals. These animals are still-hunted in some countries, oftentimes to eliminate them as competition for fishermen. They are also effected by pollution, over fishing, nets and other human activities. SOURCE
