Day 3 - Bishop Museum and Hanauma Bay

Plus a couple of random stops. It would not be a Hawaiian Field Studies day without it!! Bishop Museum was fun. We looked at Astronomy and Volcanoes.  The professors got a little crazy!

Then on to Hanamua Bay. On the way we made 2 stops to check out the geology. The water color is just beautiful!!! We did get to see a VERY endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal here.  It was on the distance.  There was a man that was trying to "help" it back into the water.  To me it seamed like the seal was just taking a break.  I guess I'll never know.  He finally got it back into the water.  

Then to Hanamua Bay for snorkeling. The  water was a little cloudier than last year, but it was still beautiful!  So many different fish. I stalked a Parrot Fish a couple of times. 

Back for a quick shower and then dinner with the staff at Shore Birds. Here we pick our meet and then go to a big grill and cook it. It was yummy!

Next stop, the Big Island!
