I’ve been underwater in a lot of ways lately. Literally, figuratively, and other unmentionable ways. Work, projects, and actually spending a lot of time underwater. Letting the salt water heal me. All I want to do is spend time in God’s good ocean. [Don't worry. All is well and I am quite content. Just incredibly busy and trying to be a bit poetic about it!]
If you need to chat I’ll be underwater. Beneath the sea. Come find me.

It’s official: Summer is here. The last of the waves have come and gone and now we have to look to town for waves! But in the meantime: we’ll be dipping into the ocean without boards and snorkel in hand.
We took a couple snaps with our trusty GoPro, dodged a couple eager tourists, and made our way out into the deep blue ocean. I’m really look forward to long sunny days, cloudless skies and more time getting to know the sea. I’ve decided for as much time I spend in the water I know so little about my salty friend. I kind of want to dedicate this summer to understanding and getting to know the ocean on a deeper level. That sounds really hippie, doesn’t it? Well, true it is. The tides, the creatures, the activity, the works. A self taught marine biologist if you will. Hahhh. We’ll see. It’ll be an ongoing challenge to myself.
In the meantime: I’ll be diving deep into the blue they call sea.

I felt like this video needed a post all on it’s own. Lazy beach days, streaming old Hawaiian music to make us feel like we’ve gone back in time. I don’t need to say much. All the babbling is in the post below.
Now all I want to do is lay around, listen to good music, and just be.

I am so unbelievably tired from the weekend. I didn’t do much and it was quite relaxing for the most part.. but as the weekend closes I am ready to pass out and try to take Monday head first. I usually spend most of my time in Lanikai and can get really complacent to the beach and waves and sun and sounds.. but there is something very special about spending time with close friends in a beautiful place. It puts things back into perspective. It was the perfect little weekend getaway.
We got to spend the night watching the stars and falling asleep to the sound of the waves. And the most magical part about being by the sea.. the mornings. The sunrise. I’m not much of a morning waker but I wake up to the sun when I’m near the ocean. It’s a natural thing I suppose. It’s moments like those that remind me how blessed we are to be living and breathing.. and to be able to do it in such a beautiful place.
It was a magical little weekend by the sea.

I just had an amazing weekend spent entirely on the beach.. soaking in some rays, getting pounded in the shore break, chatting with friends, building tents on the beach, and having a few cold ones at sunset. I’m exhausted. I haven’t had that much sun in a very long time.
Now all I want to do is curl up in bed and dream about my tales from the beach..

Aren’t these the perfect mood photos?? Gahhhh. I can’t wait to spend my weekends at the beach, in the ocean, on the sand. It is the perfect way to unwind and relax. Some times I have to remind myself how blessed I am to live in Hawaii and have the ocean as my back yard.
I am having a terrible time articulating how I feel today but I’m pretty sure these photos speak for themselves. I don’t really think I can describe it any better..
..I just want to have a love affair with the sea.
