Great post, as usual, Andy. Good to see the increase in blogging activity as of late...I hope your gathering a portfolio for a book. Thanks, especially, for that special whalesong.net link...I've passed it on to many delighted friends. (with a hat tip to your blog, of course) Greetings from the chilly March mainland.

I had accumulated lots of drafts and many photos that just need a bit of writing, so I'm trying to get in the habit of the daily post. I have more material coming, some bigger posts too, so stay "tuned." When I first discovered the whalesong.net, I wanted to go take a picture of a whale from land and post it. But last year, it was never calm and you couldn't see them well from land, so it got forgotten. Then I checked it once over the summer, and there was still "live" whalesong, so I thought something was fishy. I don't know how authentic the whole thing is, maybe they lost their buoy and just play recordings--we'd need a Maui blogger to pick up the story. In any case, it is still fascinating to listen to.

My wife and I were in Kauai in September and loved every second of it. Keep up the increased blog activity. Many of the pictures and stories remind me of my time in Kauai. I hope to retire there one day. Love the Blog. My wife and I were in Kauai in September and loved every second of it. Keep up the increased blog activity.

What a wealth of information you've compiled. Kudos! I hope we get to see whales, but if not, a green sea turtle will do. I am a bit overwhelmed by all the amazing hikes, kayaking and snorkling to the point of "what should we do where and when?", but conversly it seems no matter what choice we make each day it's going to lead us to something wonderful.
