Crispy North Winds

It’s kind of hard to predict where will be good on days like today.  North shore too big and the South shore too small.  We first went to check Diamond Head and it was beautiful, but flat.

Watched the sky turn orange, watched the view of Molokai and Lanai islands in the background.  It was here when I thought we should take a gamble.  Got back in the car and headed to the other side of the island.

We arrived right in time for the sunrise.  And guess what?  The waves were super good!

I said “hurry and go out because the waves are good and there are only 4 surfers out.  It will get crowded soon when everyone finds out.”

The North winds are cold and crispy.  Blowing offshore and grooming the ocean like an oil painting.  Only a few times a year this place gets clean like this.

As the morning went along, the waves got bigger and better.

I’m still wondering where everybody was today?

Yes, it was this amazing!  Sorry you missed it.  Maybe tomorrow?  Maybe not…

Scotch Whisky and a Fireplace

I received a very interesting gift for Christmas.  Williams Sonoma only makes high quality products so this was exciting.  

These gold cubes is for drinking good whisky.  You put them in the freezer and it turn into ice.  Except, it doesn’t water down your high quality whisky.  It makes it perfectly chilled.

So it was time to try it out.  Poured some custom made Bowmore whisky from Islay into a glass and watched it chill.

The first sip is always the best.  The smokey flavor, the floral aroma, and the memories running wild.  

Sat in front of a fireplace and sipped it very slowly.  Then feel asleep right in front of this fireplace.  Oh what a great night…
