Swimming with Sharks and Dolphins at Electric Beach After a Failed Passage to the North Shore

Episode #219 : Season 8 : The Hawaiian Adventures
Hello Friends,
On this episode I haul up anchor at Makua Anchorage and attempt to round Kaena Point and make my way up the North Shore before the winter sets in. With a strong current running and and the trade winds blowing steady I found the passage impossible and tucked tail and ran back into he lee of Oahu.
I pointed Triteia’s bow for Electric Beach at Kahe Point dropping the anchor in 20ft of water and taking in the sights of this unusual anchorage. Electric Beach is known for its snorkeling with the large cold war era power plant on the beach pumping its hot water discharge offshore, which attracts fish and other sea life.
Shortly after diving in I was met by a 6 ft sandbar shark, this was my first (known) swimming with a shark and it was both exhilarating and nerve wracking. Once at the cooling pipes I found out the sharks species from a free diver and swam with two other sand bar sharks and a wide variety of fish.
Once back at Triteia I heard the calls of dolphins and had a treat of a lifetime when a pod of Spinner Dolphins swam below and and past me as I watched them play underwater.

Sailing Triteia
My name is James and I have recently untied the lines for good and set off to start a slow circumnavigation of this big beautiful world. After 4+ years of refitting my 1965 Alberg 30 she is finally ready for some serious sailing. In 2021 I completed my first solo ocean crossing from Los Angeles to Hawaii traveling 2300 nm and will be heading south in the summer of 2022, bound for the South Pacific.
