The rains came down and the floods came up...

Most of the day we experienced tropical rains and winds. No snorkeling or kayaking. We did though catch the sunrise at the Blowhole.

 We drove up the westside of the island to find the tour company that will take us out on an ocean tour.  Monday we were able to snorkel and drove up the coast.

This is a cliff at the entry at the Blowhole. 
Doesn't it look like a Tiki god guarding the island? 
I sent this photo to Joel, my son, who collects Tiki Statues.

 Waves coming in on the Beach called Sandy.  They were not high but the wind was too strong to surf.  Some Diehards were out though.
Rick took this shot.  Isn't it beautiful how the water 
dances around the rock!
Pretty windy - and this wasn't as bad as it was!

Sunday we had a lovely day with Pu and Pete at the Aloha Tower.  We were able to take some photos from the top of the tower.  Ian went out surfing.  We were to go whale watching but there were strong winds from Kona and it would have been dangerous to go out.
 Rick and Pete were looking at a propeller and Rick's comment was that 
they would need a pretty large wrench!
 Me, Pu and Rick in front of the Falls of Clyde Ship.
The Aloha Tower - no it is not the leaning tower of Pizza!  
It is my bad photography!
A tiny government building amidst the tall office buildings!

 Monday morning snorkel - this fish is so pretty!  The blue stripes glowed!




A crab in a crevice at the shore line.

The next time that I will be making an entry, we will be on the North Shore.  Aloha!
