In Hawaii, you can see the coolest things.  I was driving through a park and saw a guy singing on his bicycle.  

He had no hands on the handle bars as both hands were playing his guitar.  That’s talent!

It’s been raining so much that the weed were growing out of control.  Mateus helped me pull it all out.

Much better!  Thank you Mateus.

The gutters on my house needed repairs but for this one, I didn’t want to ask Mateus to help me.  His Mom wouldn’t be too happy if she saw him hanging off the roof like that.  I actually had to hang off upside down to get to the gutters.  I felt like Spiderman.  Haha.  I was like that for 10 minutes as the blood was rushing to my head.  I felt so dizzy and had to crawl backwards back the ladder.  Looking at this photo now, that was pretty risky.  I think I’m a little too old for that.

A nice view…

Good morning 4:50am.
North shore 6-8′ and good.
Ala Moana knee high.
Diamond Head waist high.
Light trade winds at 10mph.
Sunny with clouds.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

The ocean is big, the ocean is wild, and the ocean is unpredictable so something can go wrong very quickly.  I always tell the girls that they will someday be needed and when that time comes, they better be prepared.  We practice a lot on being vigilant and we talk about reacting in different situations.  It was just another ordinary day as we went surfing on the boat.  This day turned out not to be that ordinary.

We were in the boat and could hear screaming from a far distance away.  I see 2 girls on a small boat trying to get our attention.  I thought they were playing but the panic in their screams said something was terribly wrong.  I get out my binoculars and see the girls yelling “help! help!”  I speed towards them and noticed a guy laying on his back splashing like he was going to drown.  He was trying to fight the strong current and panicked.  He was in total shock mode and looked like he was on his last breath.  Rocky and Mighty Mouse got to him and safely transferred him back to their boat on their surfboards.  Imagine, some mother could have lost her son that day while his sisters watched helplessly.  Thankfully, the universe placed us at the right place at the right time that day.

After that incident, the girls jumped in and caught a tako on their own.  Everybody went home happy that day.

A message to all ocean people, “always be vigilant.”
