Waves chest high and good.  Nakahodo-san almost barreled.

Cloudy morning becoming sunny.  Yokota-san on the rail.

Rare baby monk seal sighting.  

Saying hello.

Yesterday once more:  Boat Trip Hawaii.  Nature at its best!

Good morning 3:15am.
Ala Moana chest high and good.
Diamond Head shoulder high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 15mph getting stronger today.
Sunny and warm.
Going to the sea.
Have a wonderful Independence day!

We got to the Bowls parking lot early this morning and when I saw the direction of the swell, I thought somewhere else might be better.  So we jumped back into the car and on the boat and went searching.

We pulled up to a secret spot and saw perfect empty waves.  So many waves and nobody around.  Nakahodo-san couldn’t wait.  

He jumped in and paddled his fastest to the peak.  He had the whole ocean all to himself.

Then the girls paddled out and we all had 3 hours of fun.  The waves kept on coming and coming and we just kept on riding and riding.  

Nakahodo-san was super happy.  Coming to Hawaii yesterday and scoring these kind of waves is what surfers dream of.

We passed by Bowls on the way back and the waves looked fun.  

I took this photo on the way in and when I looked at it good, it looks like Trinko!  

Came in, washed the boat, then went for a roast duck/char siu/ginger chicken plate lunch.  One of the best mornings in a long time.  I was talking to Toda-san about not needing to go on expensive boat trips anymore.  Why?  Because we have this!
