i had a great day with Yumi-chan! always a very happy girl with a lot of energy and a lot of power. we surfed, seen some whales, snorkeled with a shark, turtle, lots of fish, then a good lunch, and always a good talk. Yumi-chan’s surfing and snorkeling are getting so good too! see you again on monday!
i really miss going to molokai. just such a great place to relax and enjoy nature. and you can find treasures on the beach.
deer walking by the house in the morning, amazing sunsets in the evenings. i can’t wait to go back there soon.
and eating fresh opihi with some cold beer and awesome friends.
and waking up and eating a special hawaiian steak and eggs breakfast.
the only bummer is the expensive gas prices! but after thinking about it, it’s not a problem because there is no reason to drive anyway. an island i’m definitely looking at after i retire.
but for now, i better work hard so i can retire earlier then i’m planning too! haha.
I want to go to Molokai!
Mexican style lunch made by Italian chef!
Our lunch today.
Shrimp Quesadilla for $7.95.
Very cheap and very delicious!
Once a week special at special place.
Crossed My Line
ok, yesterday i told you that somebody crossed the line right? well, somebody literally crossed my line. i was out in the deep blue sea and there were no other boats around for miles and miles. i was driving at a slow 7 knots because i had my fishing lines out behind my boat. brand new fishing poles, line, reels, and lucky lures. i just set it out and was hoping to get lucky! BUT!!!
i was driving in a straight line for miles. i was watching a tourist parasailing boat near hawaii kai doing their business. he was speeding around taking turns for the tourists. then i see him keep on speeding straight toward me. i’m just keeping my slow pace line and watched him come closer and closer. he got super close and i yelled at him. he smiled and ran over my fishing lines in the back of my boat. my reel started screaming and was losing line as his boat sped away. i kept yelling to stop so my reel doesn’t break but he kept on going. OMG! i haven’t swore or gotten that mad in a long time. i was yelling at him “fu@K You!!!! what the f#@K!!!! he finally stopped, my line cut, i lost my lucky lure, and i was still yelling at the top of my voice. i stop the boat, he starts coming back, i was ready to shoot my speargun at his boat, then he came and apologized. he said “sorry.” i looked at him and said “what are you thinking???? you have the whole entire ocean and you have to come that close to me???” he said sorry again and i looked at him wondering if this was a joke or something. i was waiting for the hidden cameras to come out and say “haha, this is a trick, you are on hidden camera.” i can’t believe how stupid some people can be. and the good thing is that my crazy fisherman friends weren’t with me because it would have been a different story. you should have seen the faces of the japanese tourists on the parasailing boat. they must have been tripping out. haha.
anyway, i took some deep breaths, then continued to fish on my other pole. then bam!!! mahi mahi!!!! i got my first fish on Mayuki and there will be many more to come. i even got another mahi mahi after that but lost it when it came to the side of the boat. i was trying to spear it but he got scared and ran away. haha.
so many whales out there. just so relaxing and boring. haha. i’m not a fishing pole fisherman, i’m a spear fisherman. i got bored pretty fast.
seen the coolest cloud formation and i knew it was going to get ugly so i headed back.
then did a quick dive outside diamond head and grabbed this monster tako!! it was huge! so got mahimahi and tako on the menu this week. ceviche and tako poke? sweet!
