went to visit one of my most favorite beaches in the world. and of course, nobody was there. just me and mother nature! went for a snorkel, watched the wild underworld world, and enjoyed this perfect afternoon. this is west side molokai.

on the way back to the east side, stopped to watch the surf. looked super fun but decided to hunt rather than surf.
