We went on Captain Andy’s Na Pali Adventure cruise yesterday – billed as a snorkel trip, but too rough to actually go in. But we were happy to see all the dolphins (spinner and bottlenose) and whales. I didn’t get very many good fluke shots, but I’m happy with this one. I have another one that’s more suitable for researchers who identify individual whales by the unique patterns on the undersides of their tails. The day started VERY early, but not horribly early.

I’m currently reading up on the whole geocache game, hunt, boondoggle, or what-have-you at Geocache-U. For instance, most geocachers have to print out the information, but there’s a way to download the page information to a Palm – this method is pretty complicated, but might work better than the way we were doing it in…
