good chilly monday evening. gosh, how cold was it today? i was freezing cold in my full wetsuit. the winds were cold, the water was cold, and i’m still cold. went for a short dive with my brother and naoka today. seen something pretty amazing again. we were diving in kind of murky water and i seen a big shadow about 20′ away. i thought it was a big shark but as it came closer, it was a hawaiian monk seal. there were 2 of them. they swam right by us and it’s weird how they seem so much like human. they look you right in the eye as if they were saying something. anyway, seeing a monk seal in the water is pretty rare and this is only my 5th time or so. it was pretty cool….
check out this kumu i speared today. i went down to check out this deep hole with all sand on the bottom. i didn’t see anything in there but i just waited and out came this beautiful red kumu. the thing was so big that i kind of freaked out. it looked at me, turned around and started to swim back in the hole. i shot it from behind, grabbed it, and held it tight because i didn’t want to lose it. this kumu happens to be the biggest kumu i’ve ever speared in my life. and also the biggest kumu i’ve ever seen in my life….
i got 4 today. pretty good for a couple of hours of work…. it’s on the ice waiting to be eaten…. oishi yo…
i told naoka i was going diving today because the waves were shitty. he didn’t mind coming for the second day in a row… we got so cold around lunch time that we had to come in. it was super cold….[:???:][:???:][:???:]
and check out this photo. lucky we live hawaii…..
