ok, they just opened waikiki beach up again. the state claims that the 500,000 gallons of raw sewage didn’t make it into the ocean. they opened up waikiki and ala moana back up yesterday. here’s my take on it: i saw the raw sewage going into the ocean. i smelt the raw sewage going into the ocean. i was at the beach that morning and witnessed everything. not only going into the ocean, going all over ala moana park too. so the raw sewage went into the ocean. now the state is saying that only ala wai yacht harbor and kewalos harbor are still contaminated. what????? between ala wai and kewalos is ala moana beach park. but they said it’s safe? no way! we all know that the water in the two harbors has to go somewhere, especially after all the rain. it’s going into surf lineups which the state now says it’s safe. personally, i wouldn’t surf for at least 3 more days. the onshore winds is just letting the water sit. we need solid 3 days of trade winds and currents to blow the dirty water out to sea. then it will be safe. the ocean related businesses loses $1M a day when the beaches are closed. maybe that’s whey they reopened it so soon? my advise: stay out for 3 more days.
and get this!!! today, 1 million gallons or 3,785,411 liters of sewage just spilled into sandy beach!!! omg!!! unbelievable!!!! sandy beach is closed for now but knowing the state, it will reopen tomorrow. very sad to hear things like this. i’m glad i’m not in hawaii now. just way too sad.
instead i’m in japan blending in with millions of people at train stations. i love it!
was checking out Matsu’s new toy. i’m ordering mine right when i get back to hawaii. can’t wait.
thank you Kanae-san for sending me this photo. good thing Eri-chan in the back wasn’t naked because she was changing. haha! had a great 2 rounds of surfing in chigasaki. just like the good old days!
