Journal of my Pacific adventure

I left England on October 3rd 2005 to live in Hawaii with my fiancée. We are travelling to New Zealand and some of the other Polynesian countries (+ Australia) over the next year or two. This blog is a journal of my Pacific adventure. Pete's new blog is available now, at www.allasoneword.blogspot.com

Hawaiian Aquatic Life

Honu / Green Sea Turtle. Hauled up at the beach on the North Shore. Measured approx 1.1 metre by 0.6 metre. Ostensibly asleep.


Freshwater fish, ten points if you can identify a species. Teaming at the mouth of a valley stream as it joins the Ala Wai Canal, these chaps might be gulping microscopic organisms as they flush from the mouth of the stream.


Marine fish this time, again species unknown. If you look carefully you can see how they are breaching about 6 inches into the air. This is presumably due to predators below, also species unknown.

Excellent photographs; I liked the little puffin bird and the turtle. Did you haul it out of the sea? I hope you pushed him back in... JK
