| These are tracks of my kayaking in the bay. Colored spaghetti for you just to differentiate the tracks a little. I started out with the green line which I changed to the rust-colored line as I came back in. The rust line changed to cyan, then purple, and then orange where I went in for a rest. I went back out (yellow line) when the dolphins showed up and I drifted around trying to catch them in photos until they left and I came in for the day (magenta line). All-in-all 4 miles of paddling. |
| I had some problems with my computer and had to wait for Microsoft to call me back so I took off and went to do some kayaking - at Pu'uhonua O Honaunau this time |
| The dolphins came by for a visit. I caught these two jumps but missed a ton of really great ones! |

| Robin was over on Kona side for the week working so I went over on Thursday to meet her. I stopped at Hookena Bay and got the kayak wet before I went to Ray and Ellen's house to meet up with them. |
| My route at Hookena, green line out, magenta line back |
| And then on to Ray & Ellen's house |
| As usual, not many pictures while kayaking because my hands are full but I stopped for this panorama. Hookena Beach is over on the left side. That big cliff in the middle is all collapsed shoreline... |

| On Saturday, Ray received the new springs for his boat trailer. While he and I put them on the trailer, the girls packed lunch and we went fishin'! |
| We headed south along the coast (green line), following the 300-foot depth with the intention of catching Ono. We got down about even with Ray's house before we turned back (magenta line). |
| Lave flow with roads across |
| Lava tubes |
| Lava flow with goat paths across |
| Same lava flow, different angle |
| This is an old Hawaiian village. You can see old stone walls and a "heiau", the big platform made of stones used for worship. |
| I hate these people... |
