i was watching Maki-san paddle for a wave, then i saw 2 guys paddling for the same wave and trying to drop in.  so i yelled “GO-Makisan!!!”  then the 2 guys pulled back.  if they didn’t, i would have circled them with my foil.  haha…it’s nice to have a wave all to yourself at Diamond Head.  good surfing Maki-san!Ryo on a nice one too! thank you Seirachan for the photo of Tokushima.  hang 10 girl!thank you Saorisan for the photo of the clearest lake.  go swim girl!thank you Chichan for the photo of a sunset in Maui.  nice colors girl!

Namaste!

Good morning 4:20am.
Ala Moana knee to waist high and perfect.
Diamond Head waist to chest high and bumpy.
Trade winds back at 20mph.
Sunny and warm.
Going foiling.
Have a wonderful day!

after 3 days of hard work, things are finally looking good.  just 2 more days and i can’t wait to put her back in the ocean!  Mayuki will be fresh!!!last time i hired a guy to do my bottom paint, i found out he just hid this crack by covering it with thick paint.  i remember clearly telling him to fix this crack i noticed and i paid a lot of money for it.  so after i scraped off the old paint, i found out he didn’t bother to fix it.  so this time, i did it myself and put a lot of love into it.  now it’s even stronger than ever!  sometimes you just have to do things yourself if you want the job done right.  it’s even hard to find a trustworthy mechanic here in Hawaii.  thank goodness my brother does all the mechanical work on Mayuki.  she’s in very safe hands…the bottom paint is finished.  the motors are serviced.  now a little more fiberglass work and this boat will be better than brand new.  next trip is Molokai, or maybe i’ll try to drive her to Japan!  haha…
