Hawaii 2011
Three Weeks (Or More) in Hilo
30 May 2011 | Hilo, HawaiiTomorrow we will have been in Hilo for three weeks. What's that you say? Could Hilo possibly be that interesting that there would be three weeks of stuff to do there? Well, yes and no. Here's some details.
Westward Ho: Molokini, Lahaina, Honolua Bay
12 June 2011 | Maui, HawaiiWhen I last wrote, we were still in Hilo, waiting for the trade winds to drop sufficiently that we could comfortably make passage across the Alenuihaha Channel to Maui. As it happens, now we are at the west end of Maui, waiting for the trade winds to drop sufficiently that we can comfortably make passage across the Pailolo Channel to Molokai. Hmmm… Something sounds familiar about this….
Here's a photo of our single-hander friend, Jim, as he's about to depart for Victoria, B.C. Craig is ready to cast off his lines, but Jim took hours and hours to prepare -- very careful! We departed ourselves, a few days later, but only for Maui.

Today is Fathers Day, and I’m thinking about my father (see photo, below), his enjoyment of sailing, and how much he would have liked to be part of our journey.

I’m sitting in “Da Fuel Dock” store, where they have a few washers and driers for the benefit of boats in the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. Our laundry from the last week is merrily spinning around, biding its time until it next demands attention from me.
