Gulick Delicatessen Take Away…

i was craving Grandma kind of home made cooking.  so straight to Gulick Delicatessen.  i was so happy they were open!  only 5 people are allowed in the store so you have to wait your turn outside.  smart…this is the best okayazu on the island.  fresh and homemade…

as i was coming back to the Yacht Club yesterday, i checked Bowls.  i couldn’t believe how many people were out!  as it gets more crowded and crowded, i’m wondering if the government will ban surfing?  with a guy coughing in the water, the trade winds will carry the droplets more than 6′.  i’ve been staying away from people, but i see packs of surfers which defeats the purpose of social distancing.  spread out guys before surfing gets banned!

Hawaii Real Estate Downturn?

i wake up at 3:30am, exercise, check the waves, and decide where to get my surf session in.  when i leave my house, it seems like i’m the only one on the road?

felt like being in totally peace and connecting with ocean.  so went to look for a place to exercise.  and it wasn’t that hard to find…

i now that the whole world has less pollution now, including Hawaii.  less cars, less boats, and less everything.  a huge positive for the world…

once i got out into the ocean, i knew exactly where the best waves would be.  surfed until i was completely satisfied.  that took only 40 minutes…

seen a cruise ship outside the harbor.  if i were stuck on one, i know i’d jump into the ocean and swim in.  then probably get arrested, but i’d rather sit in jail then on a ship stranded like that.  i feel so sorry for the people that are stuck…

after i surfed, i was craving fresh fish so pulled up to one of my spots and caught dinner.  i’m so grateful for the ocean…

i’m guessing this is the start of the downturn of real estate industry in Hawaii.  the Chinese aren’t coming and outbidding locals anymore, activity is slowing down, and uncertainty is up in the air.  nobody is buying now and i wouldn’t either…

as Waikiki sleeps, when will this be over?  nobody knows…  so my advise is to stay home, exercise, keep healthy, keep happy, and most of all, keep calm.  when this is over, let’s all rethink on how to start up again.  hopefully in a positive manner while taking care of nature.  because if anybody is happy now, it’s Mother Nature…
