Yes, it is too bad all that. Even when I was there over 20 years ago, it was very clear they wanted no change. I remember one area being described to me as “all built up”. It was two small buildings about the size of a 7-11. There are now more native Hawaiian on the mainland than Hawaii. Thus, the resentment towards the haoles. Haole can be both endearing or derogatory, depending how it’s used. The tourist go home attitude stems from lack of knowledge and/or respect of Hawaiian culture. When I worked at Mauna Lani Resort on this island, we had Danny Akaka teaching us & the guest about the culture. He’s former Senator Akaka’s son. His talks were fascinating & he is about the nicest man on the planet.
Wow, I’ve posted more here than my entire time on the site.

No reason to be sorry. You just so happen to be in the proper thread for that.

Evening all. Went and did the final clean out at FIL’s place.

I was asked to “store” the tool cabinet for him, oldest boy was given a dresser and a Broil King propane BBQ that he will put to use.
Glad that chapter is over and we can focus on other things for a while.

Evening All. Met up with @Dub11 and the rest of the Ogle circus for some ice cream tonight. I swear Wayne, I am proud of you and Nicole. How you ever get anywhere as a family with 6 kids is just amazing.

(No pictures, we didn’t want to break the internet…)

True story.

Great meeting with ya. We need to get passports so we can terrorize your neighborhood and stuff.


And yeah it's a fugging circus.

Bribery is about the only human way of getting things done.

Mastermind found me a NIB 5105 2-3 years back, gave it the once over, and shipped it to Hawaii

I already had a 6400/7900 that he built me some years ago in storage here in Alaska

I wasn't about to leave the 5105 or sell it so I mailed it to Alaska

It was just nice having the 2 saws together to hack on some dead down and standing spruce and birch on our new lot

Morning heathens,
Up early today. Got a call about some storm damaged trees. I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go. Take it easy for me today every body. I will try to slack off later today.

 

[Woodwater]

Good Morning everyone, lunch time here. wish a happy sunday all around.

 

[nbbt]

Good early morning to everyone from here as well.
Looking like it was good to section off projects Saturday, as the guessers are claiming a good portion of the day today and tomorrow morning for rain.

Good morning Terra firma lovers..

We were at sea for about 10yrs yesterday. we got back @ Just about 18:30 last night, and we left Newtown IOW around 07:45\08:00
There was some fun & interesting sailing during this time.
Coming back into the marina is challenging in rough seas, usually the waves are hitting the boat broadside we got side slipped a few times & you can see the sea hitting the walls and going over it.

One particular place is just of selsey bill. There’s two maker bouys about 0.2 nautical miles apart (see pic with red and green bouys) These bouys are there to show the safest route to take because of the reef there.
To give you an idea of the reef, on the way out at high-ish tide we had 5mts of depth and the other side it was around 15mts. If you get it wrong there may not be enough clearance with the rough sea swell in the place the tide currents can be and are really strong at times at, so you need them in your favour (close to or at slack tide). Ie if the currents are 4knots which they can be, and your max speed is 5 or 6 with the engine on. Your be going nowhere.. and more than likely get into trouble.

The wind was forecast was for it to get stronger as the day progressed, and the guessers got it right, it was . So It was a rough confused sea with a big swell on the deeper side coming back over the reef and a choppy sea on the other. So to be safe we had the engine running to help power us through.
Although The vid doesn’t show the true state of the sea. Although I cut the vid shorter, You can see it change in the vid bigger swells at the beginning to smaller near the end.

This was the vid I got of the sailing race , as we were approaching the line of boats going across our route, we were trying to figure out how to get through the fast moving line boats,
We heard a cannon then shortly afterwards a horn then about a min later another cannon went off, we were not more than 600yrds away as we could see th plume of smoke.
That when all the sailing boats then turned from being in a big long line that we had to cross we’re in a long line in a race and coming in our direction.
We had started the motor already, just incase we had to turn out of wind.and needed power (when we weren’t sure how to get throu that long line of boats)
Anyhow we picked a direction with a gap and those other boats had to give way to us. Which was probably painfully disappointing to them and there position in the race.
