The North Shore Shark Adventure was terrific. That's us in the cage, with Garrett facing you. We had beautiful, calm weather leaving at 7AM out of Haleiwa. Out of three boats, two crewmen each, we managed to get onboard with AJ's old friend Tim (aka Twink). He had brought both Clark and AJ out previously, but apparently the visibility wasn't so hot for them. For us it was great, with many large Galapagos sharks circling the cage as we held ourselves under for as long as our lungs would last. They warn you not to stick your hand out to touch the sharks. When you get in there, you understand why, because it's a real temptation as they swim right next to you. Kinda creepy looking a shark in the eye! We have a video of the whole thing, including Twink giving AJ a hard time. We topped it all off last night with a luau at Turtle Bay Resort, which was fun and something we also had never done before after multiple trips to Hawaii. We're about to take off from this beautiful house, which we need to clear out of by 11AM. The house sits right at what is apparently a very popular surf break just northeast of Sunset Beach, so watching the surf and the surfers has been a key element of entertainment. Since our flight isn't until late tonight, we're going to try to see some Waikiki sights (including the Iolani Palace, I hope) before our final aloha.

How was the water so clear when I thought you guys had some cyclone that blew through?
Not sure. We were 3-4 miles out, and it was very calm. There was not much more than a little wind and rain out of that fearsome cyclone by the time it made it to Hawaii.
