Happy Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle)!!!

Today we swam with a dozen or so honu in the calm, blue water. Our friend, Stumpy (the three-fin honu) made an appearance.  Honu can live for 80+ years and travel 300 miles to the Northwest Hawaiian Islands to lay their eggs.  Honu are working their way off the endangered species list as a result of conservation and education.  Still, you should always keep your distance and never touch or disturb them.  It is magic to swim gently beside them.
