Leg One Complete

Aloha All,
We departed Kaneohe at 8 this morning. Winds gusting to 20 something knots from the east. Brisk sailing but well off the wind for a nice ride. No fish caught; one lure lost. The fish win this leg. Wait! We have ice cold beer! So we win this round! I’ll post a couple pics as soon as I can get this app to work on my phone. Take care and stay well.

Hele On To Kauai. Hanalei By The Bay!

Image
Aloha All, We spent a beautiful night in Waimea Bay preceded by a gorgeous sunset with a tinge of a “Green Flash.” We enjoyed a wonderful dinner aboard our buddy boat, Makao'io'i , before retiring to our respective vessels and bunks. An out-of-season north swell began filling in, naturally at 3am, making the anchorage slightly rolly but manageable. Everyone slept like babies right through it though. This evening, just after sunset, we’ll depart for Kauai. If our calculations prove correct we will be on the approach to Hanalei Bay at dawn on Saturday. Sorry about the current lack of photos. Seems we need a high speed internet connection to upload. Everyone take care and stay well. logan

Homeward Bound!

  Aloha All, again, We did a little hiking along the shoreline of Waikolu Bay. The cliffs there are extremely dramatic. The trade winds blow in and get directed then redirected along the steep walls and shoot downdrafts onto the water’s surface. This makes for abrupt wind shifts in the bay. We seemed to be tucked into an eddy in the corner so it really didn’t affect us until later in the afternoon. Jonathan took an opportunity to launch his drone and capture some breathtaking footage of Puanani and Makaòiòi at anchor. I’ll share a link to the footage in a later post. We left Waikolu early this morning and immediately deployed the fishing lines. This is our last ditch effort to redeem ourselves and catch just one, please just one, real fish before arriving back at Kaneohe. I’ll update you before I close out this chapter on our COVID-19 Stacation Around The Islands Cruise. Everyone take care and stay well. logan Statue Found Hiking Along The Beach At Waikolu Bay Makao'io'i In The...

Skunked Again!

Image
Aloha All, Yesterday we displaced to a small bay 20 miles up (north) from Okoe Bay. This new anchorage was a bit challenging as the holding was not as reliable as was Okoe. Oh that’s right we grabbed an underwater fixed mooring at Okoe. Kind of cheating but one, you sleep better, and two, it saves the coral from your sweeping anchor chain. This new anchorage, I’m told, is known as Nawaawaa (sp). I can’t confirm that because it’s not on the charts. Anyway, if you drill down (zoom in) on our track, you’ll see that it appears that we were being chased by a swarm of bees. One of Clay’s good friends, let’s call him Bob. Has a house at Nawaawaa. Bob paddled out on his SUP to spend some time getting reacquainted with Clay. One of the things we were particularly interested in gleaning from Bob was his local fishing knowledge. Bob reviewed our techniques and equipment then assured us that we were doing everything right and should catch fish. We hadn’t! I mean a real pelagic fish anyway. The nex...
