good morning. 5:30am. shit, the winds picked up. it’s blowing kind of hard now and the waves in the north shore don’t look that good. the buoy came up so the waves are on the way but back to trade wind weather. the xcel pro should be finishing today. i got a lot of things to do today, but first, got to surf. going to the north shore. want to beat the traffic so i’m out of here…. see ya… oh yeah, the biggest safeway supermarket in the country is opening today in kapahulu. i passed by there yesterday and couldn’t believe how fast they built it. when i left in july, nothing was there. now it’s a huge building with all kinds of stores around. kapahulu’s got a new look and i like it…..
i’ve been looking for the perfect size pelican camera case for a long time. i was usper lucky and scored one in okinawa. keith is in the marines and had an extra one made for night vision goggles. he was super cool enough to give it to me… thanks keith….
it’s perfect for traveling. these cases are so strong that you can put a raw egg inside, throw it off a building, and it won’t break. even stronger than a pelican….
this is kevin and keith. kevin is from kauai and has been living in okinawa for years. super nice guy and really good diver…. keith is in the marines stationed on kadena air force base. we stayed at his house. he’s also another really good diver. thanks guys for teaching me a lot of diving tips. can’t wait to hook up with you guys again….
keith’s wife is from thai. we were so lucky to eat real thai homestyle cooking. soooo good. and so spicy too. thanks so much…
and i still think japan has the most beautiful sunrises. check out this okinawan sunrise. sick….
finally, check out my new hobby…. see you at tantalus…
