Captain James Cook's plaque can be seen along the far side of the lava rocks in the foreground. This is the stunningly beautiful and now-peaceful bay in which he met his end.

Sorry, I had this one the right way up, and Blogger turned it. I tried a second time and the same thing happened. So as not to be here all day, I'll let you read it sideways. There is also a tall, more imposing monment that I didn't get a photo of. You had to kayak over a ways from where we were. We liked our spot, and we headed back before going to the tall monument. |
As the morning advanced, more snorkelers arrived in kayaks . . .
. . . and the tide covered the marker in the rocks beneath the trees.

A memorial in the water, fantastic! I'm sure Cook would love it. And the place looks gorgeous on the top shot.
that's not something you'd see everyday! Thanks!
That's similar to the Captain Cook memorial in Sydney at his landing spot at Kurnell. I'll have to post a picture of taht someday.
