It was a beautiful morning at Bowls. Very crowded, not too many waves, but no complaints. It felt good just to be in the ocean. 
Kaimana Beach will be closed for next 7 weeks because a monk seal gave birth to a baby there. Then today there was a huge monk seal on the beach at Bowls that looked pregnant. I hope it gives birth on this beach so they close this beach too. That will definitely keep the crowds away. 
I’ve never seen a bigger monk seal than this one. She must be the Queen of the monk seals. 
On the beautiful island of Kauai, this humongous cruise ship came way too close to the shoreline. I’m surprised it didn’t get stuck on the reef. What was the captain thinking? There are a lot of locals that are very upset and they have every right to be.
When a boat tries to turn around and you can see sand stirring up, that means it’s very shallow for that big of a boat. If that boat got stuck on the reef, that would have been the biggest disaster ever in Hawaiian waters. I’m pretty sure that captain will soon be unemployed. Putting thousands of passengers life at risk, and almost an environmental disaster in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Why risk it?
