Day 5: Part II- Shark & Sunset Watch

We unfortunately didn't see any whales on our whale watching cruise, but we did see a school of hammerhead sharks. They were disturbingly close to shore.

The first spot- confirmed.

They swam right in front of the bow- of course I was just frantically snapping pictures and trying to see them in person to get very good pictures

First wild shark!

and... back to enjoying a few mai tais

A view back to shore. The rest of the ride was largely uneventful. They said it was very strange not to see anything at all- even after dropping the hydrophone, we still didn't hear any action

But there was penny press actioin!

And strange fruit action- Cody insisted on trying rambutan before we left the island. It had a crazy looking exterior with spiky things, but the inside was like a grape (large seed included). Fifty cents well spent.

And, then somehow landed in happy hour- Huggo's turned out to be our favorite place on the island!

We arrived just in time for a prime sunset viewing spot on the sand-floor clad restaurant

Hawaiian rainbow and Mai Tai...

And a really cute hawaiian dancer

And there she goes...

We enjoyed dinner just as the sun was going down- fresh mahi mahi tacos for Cody and a fried rice plate for me (Cody proclaimed them the best fish tacos he'd ever had)

Then a little live music started, real Hawaiian dancer this time
