Today was beautiful! I spent this beautiful day on a 60
foot Catamaran with 26 other honor students, Prof.
Griswold, Prof. Fister, and Alex. Catamarans play a big part in
Polynesian culture because it was one of the ways people got
to the Hawaiian islands.
I was afraid to get on the boat because I am afraid of
the ocean. But after a while I realized that there was not
anything to be afraid of. Besides this is a once in a
lifetime experience and who knows when I will ever be able
to experience something like this again. We were told it was
humpback whale season and I kept my eyes on the sea because
I was anxious to see a whale up close and personal. But we
never saw one, just a huge sea turtle.
Aside from the boat rocking and it being windy outside,
everything else was perfect. The scenery was amazing. I took
plenty of pictures.
Before I knew it my catamaran experience was over. I
didn't want it to end. I am looking forward to the day I can
ride a catamaran again.

Aloha Megan,
I'm happy that you had such a great catamaran ride. It's a good idea to keep your healthy respect for the ocean, at the same time you enjoy adventures on it. Did you get a photo of the sea turtle?
