Mother Nature Decides!

46

I was surprised to see the ocean so clean this morning.  After all the rubbish and debris in the Ala Wai Canal yesterday, I thought it would all be at Bowls this morning.  But the ocean is amazing and it does what it wants to do.  Including bigger waves than yesterday, no jellyfish, sunny sky, rainbows, and no contest.  Everybody thought the worst because nobody was out.

We were expecting heavy rain and storms today but it was as beautiful as it gets.  Mother Nature decides when and where.

Bunasawa-san on his first trip to Hawaii, and first surf in Hawaii.  After he caught his first wave, he looked super content.

After this ride he paddled back out and said “SO FUN!”

Yes, the water was pretty clean considering what we all saw yesterday.

This was last night.

This was this morning.

And this was this afternoon.  I’m wondering when Mother Nature is going to send its tides and currents to take all this junk out to Bowls?  Nobody knows when, but it will surely happen.  I’ll keep you posted.
