good evening. another long ass day today. woke up early to fix my boat. finished by 9am so had to go test it out. the waves on the north shore were junk and the waves in town was flat. i ain’t missing anything….
no, this is not miso soup. this is the ala wai harbor. do do water and really stink too. if this contaminated water got on my cut, i would probably have to cut my leg off. i was really careful. but once we got away from ala moana, the water was really clean. and on the way out passing bowls, it was completely FLAT!!! not even one guy out. i’ve never seen bowls with nobody out before. flat waves and miso soup water is keeping surfers away. we ended up testing my boat from waikiki to the airport. and by mistake, i forgot to take my diving gear out of my boat from last time. so i had to dive… haha…
we dove all the way until evening. while coming in, the sunset was freaking awesome. so beautiful that i forgot to take a photo. anyway, check out my new trailer and i guess the hole in my boat is fixed because we didn’t sink today. this is my brother standing on the trailer trying not to slip into the miso soup ala wai. and yes, right after i took this photo, he slipped and fell in. it was pretty funny. hope he takes a good shower tonight. and that’s shawn driving my boat on. i was sitting on my rocking chair drinking my beer when i took this photo. haha.. just joking….
shawn fujimoto is such a good diver. i try to follow him around and watch how he stalks fish. and i’m learning a lot. it’s amazing on how deep he goes, and how long he can stay down. he’s so relaxed on the bottom that he looks like he’s sleeping down there. maybe he takes naps or something. every time i come up and look for him, i can’t find him. and that’s because he’s down more than he’s up. that’s nuts… anyway, here is just 2 of the 20 or so fish he caught today in town. this photo is 1 hour old. if you dive or ever tried to dive in town, you know that there’s no fish. and if you can catch fish in town, your a pretty good diver. i still don’t know where he found these big “munu’s” but he’s going to have the best dinner on the island for sure…. today we started off slow because we went blue water diving looking for ono’s and mahimahi’s. one big ono swam by but just out of range so no sashimi tonight. then we went reef diving and filled a cooler up with fish. great day for diving. and yes, my boat is running pretty dam good…. good night…
**big swell this weekend. stay tuned…
