check out the new natural sunscreen i just got! so stoked and can’t wait to try it out. thank you Matsuo and Eri-chan!

and thank you Naoka for this fish pinchers. now i don’t have to touch stinky fish anymore.

got some new clothes from Standard California. so cool!

thank you Akudo-san! perfect for this upcoming winter season in hawaii!

after fishing all day yesterday, i was driving home feeling kind of weird. even though we caught fish, i wasn’t satisfied. i didn’t feel refreshed, i didn’t feel excited, i didn’t have the stoke. i’m guessing because i had absolutely no exercise? and maybe because i didn’t get to go into the ocean? in fact, i came home stinkier than when i left my house. when i free dive, i come home feeling totally refreshed, satisfied, and content. thinking about selling my fishing poles again. haha.

but coming home to Mateus makes me totally satisfied! i bought him some anpanman treats from japan and am giving it to him little by little. that way i can see his smile more and more.

Dirty water continues…
Good morning 6am.
Storm warning, flood warning, heavy rain warning. Be careful today! Ala Moana chest high. Clean waves, dirty water.
Diamond Head shoulder high and windy.
Trade winds at 25mph.
Rain, storms, flooding, and accidents.
Have a safe day!

since the water was going to be dirty again today, thought i’d look for some clean water. 20 miles out to sea, i knew a place. today wasn’t a safe day to go that far out because of the storm, heavy rain, and flooding. so when i left the yacht club, i told the security “hey, if i don’t come in by 4pm, something happened to us.” he looked at me as if i was crazy.

another beautiful morning. went out with my friend Ryan and nephew Isaiah.

when ever it rains, i can hear the stream flowing near my house. so before i even go to the beach, i already know if the water will be dirty or not. today, i knew for sure because the stream was flowing strong last night!

took 1 hour to get out to our spot. let the poles out into the rainbow!

soon after, we get out first fish! then another, then another.

we got 2 mahimahi’s and one ono. ended up losing 3 fish today but it was ok. enough fish for us so we called it a day.

came home and it was time to clean fish!

so stoked to be spending time with Isaiah. the coolest kid with the biggest heart.

then Ryan cleaned and cut the fish.

one hour later, i was eating carpaccio! it was so good!
