| I got a call from a representative of the Homeowner's Association of "Vacationland", an area of Kapoho where the Wai Opae Tidal Pools are located. There's a road that runs right along the coast that is subject to erosion from high tides and they wanted to look into repairing. As a step in the process, the official shoreline as to be determined which is defined as the highest point of the high tide. So on this day we met with a representative of the University of Hawaii who would make this determination. Also along for the ride were myself, as the engineer, a couple of guys from a surveying company to mark the high tide locations, some people from the Planning Board, and some of the interested homeowners. I arrived around 2:00 and waited around for everyone else to show up. Gradually, the various people came. We all walked around and talked and pointed at things while we waited for high tide, around 5:00. |
