i had to go get gas and do some maintenance on Mayuki. getting ready for a Molokai trip next week so better be prepared. on the way to the gas station, i stopped to pick up some dinner. so happy! people don’t believe me when i tell them it takes $550 to fill up the tanks. i don’t believe it either when i get the invoice from the gas man… on the way back, the Coast Guard was in full force. on Sundays, they usually watch over the ocean carefully and make sure it’s safe for everyone. so i don’t mind at all getting pulled over. and i don’t mind them bringing on their machine guns and pistols. no guys, i’m not a drug dealer. it’s routine for a couple of them to board your boat and make sure everything is legal. and also to make sure i’m not drunk. but yeah, i feel safe in the ocean because of these guys doing their job. as for Mayuki and myself, we were all good. so the big boat pulled up and got the guys and guns off Mayuki. so if you think you can go in the ocean and do illegal things, better think again… then i came in and started greasing and cleaning the motor. then the grease tip broke!!! omg! as for now, Mayuki is out of service. hopefully to be back and working very soon because Molokai is coming up. and that’s going to be a very tough and rough trip so everything has to be perfect!
