Swim with the Fishes

Every Wednesday, we dock in Kona. Kona is where the Iron Man competition is held. We are allowed to swim the Iron Man portion. So for the past few weeks I've made a point of taking advantage of this opportunity.

The swim is phenomenal!!!! It's like swimming in a tropical aquarium!! Such amazing sights!! I can't even begin to name the different fish and coral I've seen. Week before last, dolphins swam nearby!! I wasn't out far enough to see them but I'm working my way up to swimming out that far!

This week I left with a baby crab crawling off me. It gave me the creeps, it looked like a tarantula, but the locals said it was Good Luck! I'll take their word for it, the swim itself is such a treat!
