I had to run Mayuki today to see if the maintenance I did on it was ok.  Just had to check for performance and leaks.  Everything was running smoothly so I was pretty happy.  Then a big pod of 50 dolphins rode along side.  It was pretty amazing.

WOT means “Wide Open Throttle.”  My Yamaha outboards run better every time I do this.  I run it full speed for 30 minutes straight so that usually gets me from Waikiki way past Pearl Harbor.  Mayuki is practically flying when I’m going this fast.  

I can get up to 38mph or 61km.  Going that fast and being comfortable is what this boat is built for.  I usually do this alone because I don’t want anyone flying off the boat.  It’s a very wild ride.  

The water was so clean again so I jumped in for 30 minutes and caught my favorite dinner.  It’s Kole time!

But before that, I have to finish up the ahi and aku Benji gave me.  I’m eating fresh fish every night this week.

Round 1:  Early morning session with Minami-san.  The waves were perfect for long boarding.

The sky was clear but the wind was cold.  

Surfing much better today.  Getting better and better.

This is a happy surfer!

Round 2:  Family time with my grand nephews and nieces.  Cute and fun!
