More surf and turf

Weather has been nice past few days and more to come.  Took the Red Sea boat out to look for dinner.

And found a few more steamers.  These are so good!  I think will have to target them more often.  Thanks to Cat and Brent for the help on board and 2 old crows for the land support.

Also surf has been firing!  stoked to ride my tokoros on all shapes and sizes.  

Also got treated to a nice slab of big eye tuna from Mike.  Not often we get to eat this type of tuna so our family will be eating good tonight.  Mahalo!

And Araki's got the gold!  Kole gold!  Mahalos to all the divers who participated in this covert strike mission!  You all know who you are!  Thank you!  Mission Accomplished!

Sweet Sixteen



Light winds in the forecast for a week so packed up the Red Sea boat and headed out to the friendly isle.

Took a power nap and watched the amazing sunset then went out to fish.

Got a bunch of fish to fry and steam while we are in lockdown mode.  Fish that can last a long time in the freezer.

Mahalos to my crew, brent and cat for the on board help and two old crows for the land support.

Came back home in time to celebrate my nephews Kai sweet 16 birthday.

Caught than Taught

Kids out of school till April 30 so giving them a hands on experience of working.  I am a firm believer in things are learned better caught than taught.  When you do it then you will embed it in your memory bank forever.

Even nature is enjoying their time off the tourists.

Kai was applying his lessons on a hands on project for vesso surf.  Good job!

Stay Home and Stay Busy!



Working all week on another HSDTV show with more kids!  These young ocean explorers know how to enjoy their prolonged spring break. Tokoro ohana joined the fun.

Brent and Liam also had fun!


Marley Laanan showing her dad what she found!

Friend shared this low tech mask to use to avoid covid 19.  Everyone getting creative now days.  Weather looking bit wet for weekend with light winds coming next week.  Gotta get things done so can get out for some solo exercise!

Stock, Walk and Lock

Got a chance to stock up on some Aku for the lockdown before the weather went sour.  Some nice Otarus will go for the sashimi, poke and dry stash.  Papa Crow is all set once he finds his T.P. ha ha!

Also got to get a good outdoor activity reef walking again.  Brent and Liam learning lessons of life.


Even the Tokoro family came out to enjoy the walk.  Along with the Sato, Kanekos, and Nakamotos!

My friend posted this cartoon, thought it was funny!  I'm sure the corona death numbers needs to be updated but something to think about while you are locked up.
