I would like to trade my shovel for a paddle right about now. We only have about 5 more months to wait until summer.

I really like how this paddler is lined up with the change in the blue tone of the water.  Along the horizon you can see the island of Lanai to the left and Molokai to the right.  Evening swimmers along these reefs can hear the song of the Pacific humpback whale swimming and cavorting in the distance.
