Snorkeling and luau

I have never snorkled before. We were worried because it was raining in the morning, but it cleared up nicely. Actually, the passing clouds provided a welcome respite from the sun. Still, I got a bit burned.
The snorkeling website implied that there would be showers and lockers. Not true. But it worked out. We checked in, then were given chips and drinks as we waited for the boat. Our captain was a bit worrisome at first, but he grew on us as the tour progressed, in part due to his excellent musical taste.
The first mate was a nice man with long dreads; he told us a lot about fish and dolphins. There was also an adorable photographer on board. He dove strait down to the bottom to get some great shots.
The first stop was a place that turtles like to go. We saw one. It was on the bottom, very large, and moving slowly. At first I kept smiling and laughing, letting water in to my mask. The fish that were swimming around were very pretty.
On the way we spotted some Hawaiian Spinnaker Dolphins. They were adorable. There was a baby one and some juveniles in the pod. We almost got in the water with them, but lost the pod.
Our next snorkeling spot was very pretty, all fish. On the way back in the captain took us way out to sea to see some bottlenose dolphins. We saw a couple fins, circles around a bit to see of they would surf the waves behind the boat (no) then headed in to shore really quickly.
They gave us sandwiches and chips for lunch. We were out from 11 till 3:30.
Tired and wet after that.
We headed over to the luau - still wet and in swimsuits.
There were fun activities. I made a headband/crown, a bracelet, and got a tribal tattoo. They did the tattoos with China markers. They went on well, but were prone to smudging.
There were a couple demonstrations before the official start: tying the sarong-thing, hula, languauge, fishing, climbing coconut trees, digging up the pig...
We sat for the luau and they pulled us up by table to go through the buffet. Salad, pasta, delicious pork, taro rolls, dessert... Such goodness. I also drank a couple of Blue Hawaiians.
He show was lots of fun. There was a fire dancer. They did a wedding song where a female dancer danced, and the male dancer just stared at her awkwardly.
We chatted with a couple of nice strangers. The sunset was gorgeous. The stars came out and were unfamiliar to me.
We got photos.
I am so tired, but still filthy from the day.
