Default Swimming in the Love

Actually the stuff the Samoans feast on is more like a worm... but it's from
the coral reef. Yes .. I've eaten it. I think it's called Paloa [sic] ...
it's been years though and I could be mistaken about the name.

| Have you tried them? I think the NOAA guys might get mad if we start

| | In 3 days we will Sailing out to go diving on a underwater crater
| | called Molokini. Not just to enjoy the 80 degree water temp and the
| | fact you can see over 100 feet because the water is that clear. Not
| | just to see the green turtles, morays, frogfish, scorpionfish,
| | trumpetfish, reef sharks, leopard rays, manta rays, whale sharks, and
| | humpbacks. But to enjoy the Love. Ive been told that every year
| | exactly 15 days after the full moon, all of the coral reefs in the
| | area breed. They launch billions of what I call seeds. Not sure if its
| | like sperm, eggs or pollen but seeds the size of small peas. Suppose
| | to be quite a show. We got permission from a Capt of a NOAA boat to
| | come along side and tie to them while we dive. They have some sort of
| | dynamic positioning system that holds them in place. Most likely wont
| | need it because the coral reefs wait till the water is almost dead
| | still to start,.... u know..
