Sunset at Laysan


We have left a wonderful day of diving at Laysan Island and are bound for Pearl & Hermes atoll.  We are now entering new territory for me as we ended my first trip to the NWHI in 2001 at Maro Reef when our boat flipped and the ship lost one of it's propellors.  So, the excitement is building.  I gather Pearl & Hermes should be incredible.  I can't wait.

Our one day at Laysan Island was great.  The weather continues to hold out and the reef surrounding the island is an up and down mass of boulders, canyons, and fish.  For quite a large portion of our tows, we had several large jacks (big silver fish) trailing along behind us, trying to figure out what was going on.
