We had the most fantastic days on the boat. \u00a0Searching for new places, exploring different reefs, diving the deep blue, and going with the flow. \u00a0From my boat breaking right when we arrived, trying to find a solution, no help around for miles, and kept on hunting for food. \u00a0Then the rough night with heavy rain, rough waters, and a nightmare trying to sleep. \u00a0![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GPTempDownload-28-800x420.jpg\")

Because I was with the boys, I wasn’t worried about being stranded for days or months if we were stuck. \u00a0We could survive off the ocean, and we could drink the freshest water straight from the waterfalls. \u00a0We talked about that and it actually sounded pretty fun. \u00a0Benji Brand and Joshua Moniz are some of the best watermen in the world. \u00a0Not to mention, the can surf pretty good too. \u00a0Haha. \u00a0 ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_8980-800x600.jpeg\")

As we were stuck floating around in the ocean, we saw a fin coming straight for the boat. \u00a0Then where were two. \u00a0Sharks?![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-4-800x600.jpeg\")

Not sharks. \u00a0It was a pod of the friendliest dolphins I’d ever encounter. \u00a0 They swam around and right next to the boat for over an hour. \u00a0One of the longest dolphin sessions ever. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GPTempDownload-30-800x700.jpg\")

My new gun is so fast! \u00a0It’s so exciting to pull the trigger on it. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GPTempDownload-29-800x700.jpg\")

For a broken boat with stranded divers, we still hunted. \u00a0Normally I would have instantly turned around and tried to get back to Oahu as fast as possible. \u00a0But with the crew I had, that wasn’t even a thought. \u00a0What we all learned on this trip is that anything can happen at anytime. \u00a0Even though your boat is well maintained, it can still break. \u00a0And when you’re in a secluded place 6 hours away from Oahu, you have to figure out how to survive. \u00a0I’m actually glad that it happened because this trip was the best learning experience for them. \u00a0It could someday save their own lives…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
