ok, the day the hurricane supposed to come, i checked the waves and it looked super good.  so i snuck out for an hour and this is what it looked like.  only a couple guys and gals at the right place at the right time!then today, waves were super small but if you waited, you will score.  the feeling of riding this knee high swell on my foil felt like riding a head high wave on my surfboard.  Carter and i paddled out and there was only one guy out at Bowls.  i felt sorry for that guy.  haha…and yeah, Carter got the wave of the day.  look how beautiful it was!!! we foiled for an hour and both of us were super satisfied.  lucky us!

i usually don’t anchor Mayuki when it’s over 60′ deep.  the reason is when the anchor gets stuck, i always have to maneuver the boat and dive down for the anchor at the same time.  it’s precision timing and it doesn’t always work.  so now that the boys can dive that deep, i throw the anchor at any depth.  they can get it, and then i can hunt for fish too!

i followed 2 eagle rays and was just watching them swim on by.  then at the corner of my eye, i saw this nice Uku checking me out.  so i hide behind the eagle rays and waited for my shot.  the Uku came in, i got the shot, and this was the best sashimi ever!

i was watching the boys dive.  first Joshua shot a nice amberjack, then wisely, he left the fish dangling on his shaft.  that created another amberjack to get curious and that’s when Seth went down to get that one.

it’s so cool to see the boys connect with nature like this.  they are so calm and so happy.  and the best part is they will never starve in their lifetime.  i’m so proud of them!

i was cleaning out my garage and throwing so many things away.  i came across these fish scales.  i had them for 25 years and i’ve weighted my biggest fish with it.  but now i don’t care about how heavy my fish are because i just judge it on how many people it could feed.  so i’ll give it to the boys so they can weigh their fish.  then they can’t exaggerate when i ask them how big it was.  haha…
