Sun sets over Lanai.\u00a0 Below our lanai a slack key guitar and vocalist play Hawaiian melodies.<\/p>\n
Kate and I sat on our north facing lanai just 20 minutes ago and watched a pod of whales move between Molokai and Maui, then head towards Lanai.\u00a0 They breached and spouted, flukes slapping the ocean when they dove.\u00a0 The humpbacks come here each year during this time for mating, then they head back north.<\/p>\n
The strangeness of the whaling imagery comes into clear relief when these\u00a0behemoths play.\u00a0 In fact, there is now a small industry involved in whale watching.\u00a0 One way to find the whales from the balcony is to follow the whale watching boats as they head for the pods.\u00a0 Which seems backward and perverse to me, somehow.<\/p>\n
Dinner just came.\u00a0 Catch of the day: ono with fruit salsa.\u00a0 Thai chicken wings.\u00a0 Thai coconut bisque.\u00a0 Smells good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
