Day 3 - Blogabond

Our day began with scuba diving at a place called Magic Island on the south side of Oahu not far from Waikiki. There were four of us all together, the other couple were in the air force and on their way back to the states from Guam or something.

Our instructor was Pete Coogan, a really great guy who was very patient and very good. The water was kind of murky and there wasn't a lot to see, mostly tiny fish and some coral, but it was fun. Barbara, for all her certification and training, ran out of air first. The swim in took a while - we were out a lot further than I thought and the tides were fairly strong. It was definitely a good workout.

From there it was another shower, lunch and a walk around Waikiki. We got our shots for the continuing journey and then a two hour catamaran ride at sunset -- relaxing, pretty view, etc. For dinner we took Norm to Monteray Bay Canners (!). The food was okay but he enjoyed it and that was what mattered.
