Palau Rocks!

Just started the downloading photo process and we got lots of good shots. From surfing, diving, or sightseeing the action was non-stop. Kekoa Mau got some nice fish like this sweetlips which went into the smoker on the last day. Junior and Kb's dads helped smoke the fish and it was winners!
While the boys finished up their last surf I went for more mu's and had so much fun spearing these fish. The surf was going off and I decided to spend a hour to catch a couple for our party.
But the prized fish in Palau is not the dogtooth, ono, ahi, or mu. It's the Kala! Kala is King and it's equivalent to spearing a 5 lb. kumu. They are smart and know how to run away from you. We needed some for the bbq and got lucky!
Kb and Lalii opened their home and we ate like royalty. Here Kb, is sampling the Kala and check his expression as he eats the best part of the Kala, the fat lining near the stomach. Lalii enjoyed the spicy mu poke we made and couldn't stop eating.

Sulang to all my friends and family in Palau. The Pleasure Island Palau crew rocks and we look forward to our next Red Sea Trip in 2013.
