E hui pū me mākou i ka Yucatan Peninsula a ʻike ma lalo o ka wai o ke kai Caribbean, ka silhouette kupaianaha o kēia iʻa -ʻo ka nui loa o ka honua-, i kahi hanana kūlohelohe e kū nei i kēlā me kēia makahiki i ke kauwela ma ka hema hikina o Mekiko.

ʻO kā mākou lā ma ka pier ma 7.30 hola. ʻO ke anuanu o ke kakahiaka a me ka hiʻona nani o ka puka ʻana o ka lā a hoʻopau iā mākou i kahi ʻano maikaʻi loa. Pēlā mākou e kau ai i ka moku e holo ana i Cape Catoche. I ka wā o ka huakaʻi, ke alo o nā ʻāpāpā, ka poʻe makemake pāʻani e ukali i nā moku. Hiki nō hoʻi, ke kaukaʻi ʻia i ka manawa o ka makahiki, e kūlike ai me ka ʻūlū diabolō (Manta birostris), ka mea kupaianaha. ʻO ko lākou ana, ka lawena a me ka ʻauʻau ʻana, e hoʻohui i kahi huakaʻi i ka huakaʻi, keu nō inā laki ʻoe e ʻike iā lākou e lele i hope.
Ke hoʻokokoke aku nei i kahi o mano koholaUa hāʻawi ke alakaʻi iā mākou i nā kikoʻī pili, ʻoiai ʻo ka pōmaikaʻi ʻo ka ʻauʻau ʻana me kēia iʻa nunui e hoʻoponopono ʻia e nā luna no ko lākou pono.
Ke kali nei mākou a pau. I kahi manawa pōkole, i ka maluhia holoʻokoʻa o kēia wahi, i kahi mamao hiki ke ʻike i kahi fin dorsal neʻe. Once loaʻa, a me kēlā me kēia me ka pono no snorkel, huli mākou i ʻelua a ʻelua. No ka mahalo, mālama mākou i kahi mamao i ʻole e hōʻehaʻeha iā lākou. ʻAno pīhoihoi ke ʻauʻau ma hope o ka iʻa nui loa o ka honua. Hoʻonui ʻia kona waha hāiki i ka laulā piha o kona poʻo pālahalaha; ua liʻiliʻi ko lākou mau maka, aia ma nā ʻaoʻao o ka waha; loloa nā puka kaʻe a hoʻolōʻihi ma luna o nā fector pectoral; ʻO kāna moʻo huelo mana he semicircular. Hiki iā ia ke piʻi i nā lōʻihi o 18 mau mika.
I ka pau ʻana o ka ʻike, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hiamoe o ka mea i ka hoʻi ʻana, mai ka pīhoihoi a me ka pīhoihoi paha.
Ua pāʻina mākou, a ua launa pū mākou me wai ko mākou alakaʻi, i hiki ai ke huakaʻi i loko kayak ka mangrove ka lā aʻe.

ʻO ka wanaʻao a ʻike nui ʻia e ka ʻala o ke kofe. I loko o nā keʻena liʻiliʻi kahi a mākou e noho ai, ua komo pū ka ʻaina kakahiaka, a ua ʻoluʻolu ka makani iā ia iho e komo i loko o nā puka aniani o ko mākou lumi. ʻO ka kope hou, kahi hua, a me nā ʻāpana o ka toast me ka jam. I loko o ke ao hauʻoli mākou i ke kahakai a me ke kai.
Ma ka hola 4:00 hālāwai mākou me Andrés, e hele huakaʻi ana i waena o ka mangrove i loko o kayak. Pēlā ʻo ia i hoʻokokoke aku ai iā mākou i ka hoʻomaka o nā mangrove, kahi o nā hola ma hope e ʻohiʻohi ʻia ai mākou. He hoihoi loa kēia huakaʻi, no ka nui o ka pīhaʻu i noho ʻia ma laila. He mea maʻamau ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ibis keʻokeʻo, nā manu frigate, nā ʻaeto keʻokeʻo, nā cormorants ʻelua, nā pelican keʻokeʻo, nā ʻelani ʻulaʻula, nā spoonbills rose, nā herona, nā pelicans hina a me nā flamingos a pink i waena o nā ʻano ʻē aʻe. Once hoʻi, hoʻomākaukau mākou e hoʻomākaukau no ka ʻaina awakea. Luhi i ka hoe ʻana, ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe e hana ai, e kakali wale nō no ka puka ʻana o ka lā.
Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka, ua ʻae mākou e hele wāwae. I ke awakea ke iho ka wela, hiki iā mākou kau lio ma ke kahakai a ʻike hou i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā. ʻAʻole mākou i hiamoe, me ka hoʻonohonoho mua ʻole ʻana me kahi mea hoʻokele kaʻa kaʻa i mea e hōʻoia ai i ka lawe mua ʻana i ka pier. Haʻalele kā mākou ferry ma ka hola 7:00. I ka hōʻea ʻana i ʻO Chiquilá ua kūʻai mākou i nā likiki iā Cancun. Ua ʻike mākou ua lawe ka poʻe kalaiwa i ka manawa kūpono e pāʻina kakahiaka ma laila, no laila ʻo ia ka hōʻailona ua ʻai maikaʻi lākou ma laila, ʻike mau lākou. No laila, ua ʻōlelo maikaʻi mākou me ka ʻīlio ʻīlio maikaʻi loa a me ka hihi, me ke kāpī paʻakai a me kahi mea ʻulaʻula ala loa.
