I just started watching this documentary about a sailor that has lived on his boat his whole life.  I have no idea how it’s going to end, but the first part of the movie was this screen shot.

“When a sailor can’t go on anymore, he sets out for his final voyage, never to return.”

That caption hit deep in my heart because my Step-father went out for his final voyage and never returned.  I was 8 years old at the time and couldn’t understand it.  Some say it was a mistake, some say it was an accident, and some it was intentional.  We will never know but what I do know is that he was a great influence in my ocean life.  I can understand why he did what he did.  I can understand how it made him feel.  And I can understand that without it, life won’t be the same.  So when watermen sets out for their final voyage, I think that’s the most beautiful thing in the world that I respect a 100%.

Yesterday once more:  Best conditions for the South Shore.

Good morning 3:30am.
Ala Moana waist high and good.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 25mph.
Sunny and warm with big rainbows.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful day!

I couldn’t believe it when we arrived at Bowls this morning.  There was nobody there!  Happy!  

These are the mornings I love the most.  Nobody knows there were waves so there was nobody out.  The 2 girls had it to themselves when we first paddled out.

Today was the cleanest conditions we had in a while.  The ocean surface was like oil.  So fun and easy to surf.

By 8am, we were done.  Fully content and happy that the full day was still ahead.  

So we went to Diamond Head for Round 2.  Not as clean as Bowls, but very good for Boot Camp.  

I don’t know where this girl gets all her energy from.  All she wants to do is surf, surf, and surf.  So we’ve been surfing, surfing, and surfing every single day for the past few months.  I’m not sure when her batteries will run out but mine are on low.  Haha.
