NWHI day 18-Final Day

Our final day here in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands has come to and end. We had one more day of diving so we made the most of it till our hands wrinkled, mouth watered, and legs could not kick anymore. We started off in the deep watching our scuba divers and made a few 100 ft drops.
Then we went off to visit another shipwreck, this one with close ties to the story of Moby Dick. The same captain that was on the boat of the Moby Dick story later captained this other boat which sank here. Talk about hard luck. I heard he later gave up whaling/sea faring and became a security guard. The ocean was full of artifacts which was cool to video/photo.
Our dinner was complete with cupcakes and good food and camaraderie.
The crew played a few songs so I decided to capture it on film. Here is our make shift studio with dive lights and all.

It' s been an epic journey and one I will never forget. Life on the sea is what I've dreamed of and the ocean is my playground. Strangers are now friends, work is now play, dreams have become reality! As we set our bow to the east, we head back to our home and know that we have become better stewards of the sea.
