On the north shore of Kaua’i there is a small cabin, no air conditioning, set right on the beach. \u00a0The shore is outside. \u00a0It’s called Da Fish Shack. \u00a0If you go there, you’ll find entries in its book from two Woolly Mammoths, Mark Odegard and me. \u00a0Mark’s are beautiful images drawn in his immediately recognizable style, mine carved in my cursive, also, unfortunately, immediately recognizable.<\/p>\n

It’s a treasure at $90 a day (now $99, I discovered.), a place to sink into the island and the ocean. \u00a0Today it is on my mind. \u00a0Instead of looking at the weather console reading -17 earlier this morning, I could look out on just another day in paradise. \u00a0The Pacific would be there, waters and weather streaming down from Alaska and the Bering Sea, but tempered by the more southerly ocean.\u00a0Not far away lies Hanalei and the Na’pali coastline. \u00a0The Limahuli gardens, too.<\/p>\n
The pace is slow. \u00a0from a February 26th, 2008 entry: \u00a0“4:45PM 75.\u00a0 Cloudy.\u00a0 Ocean breeze.\u00a0 Languid is the word.\u00a0 Da Fish Shack has a languid atmosphere right now; I feel enervated by the languidness of it all.\u00a0 Or something.”<\/p>\n
