We had an amazing day on the Hula Girl, a large sailing catamaran which took us to Honolua Bay for some great snorkelling. It was a wonderful balmy day and the water was warm and clear. We saw a turtle and lots and lots of different tropical fish. There was quite a bit of coral on the reef. We swam for about an hour and then returned to the boat for some fish tacos. Yum!
On the return journey they put the sail up. It was wonderful.
They caught a big Mahimahi off the back of the boat. The fish struggled majestically as it was reeled in.
It was a magnificent specimen full of life one moment and then it was dead.
They wrapped it in a towel and poured vodka down its gills. The crew had caught their dinner. I don't know why I felt so sad. After all I'd had fish tacos for lunch.
