Drop off Molokai, Pick up Oahu

305

been eating healthy because i want to live healthy. so a homemade soup and salad filled me up with vitamins and nutrients.

i want to sail, i want to fly, and i want to do everything! maybe that’s why i’m hooked to the foil? it’s like doing both at the same time.

had to make a drop off early morning for a special persons Molokai trip. i felt like jumping on that flight too but it was fully booked, and booked all day long. so driving home looking at the weather thinking about something to do.

i got this lure as a gift 10 years ago. thought i’d go try my luck at fishing.

from the airport to Mayuki. since i have everything on her, i’m ready for everything.

started fishing for 15 minutes and couldn’t be patient anymore. the water was cleaner than i expected so i reeled up the pole, put it away, and never took it out again.

went to a spot i’ve never been to in 15 years. was hoping there were still lots of fish like the old days. and yes, nothing has changed… got a mixed bag of fish, put my spear gun away, and started cruising.

continued on driving with the right hand, and an ice cold beer in the left hand. then my oceans friends showed up and wanted to play.

i jumped in the pod of dolphins, then all but this one swam away. this girl was circling me over and over. going up and down, side to side, and trying to communicate with me. it was the most peaceful experience i’ve had in a long time.

the sun started to set, i put up my beer to the horizon, and said “cheers! thank you for another beautiful day!”
