    Jellyfish in the Ala Wai

    Went for my walk this morning and saw that there were a bunch of Jellyfish in the Ala Wai. Usually when we walk at night we see Moon Jellyfish. But this morning I saw whitespotted Jelly's, upside-down Jellyfish and one sort that I wasn't able to ID. The size ranged from a the size of a champagne cork (about 2-3cm) to the size of a head of cabbage (10-15cm). Some were resting on the bottom, others were swimming around and a few missed the tide. I know the pictures aren't great. They were taken just before sunrise at a bit of a distance, thought I'd share anyway.Too bad the water is too Pilau (sp?(=dirty)) to swim in...







    this was the tiny buggah



    And there were lots of them stuck on the ledge

    Well the dirt from the spill is pretty much gone. They put in a temporary sewage system after the blow this past spring and sunk some of the pipe in the canal. BUT there are shopping carts, bikes, construction signs etc. in there and then all the crappola that the people throw in the stream's that lead to the the canal - all gets washed down when we get the heavy rains... :shakehead. The Ala Wai is fresh water with a layer of saltwater.

    Oh yes, I have a beautiful view of the pipe from my lanai. I also get to hear the noise from them working on it ALL the time. I can't wait for them to finish it.

    From my lanai, I can see thousands or even millions of fish swimming in the Ala Wai in huge schools. It is also nice to see the outriggers out there again.
