Day 349: Cap’t Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruise, Part 5

Thursday, December 5, 2013

Whew!  These Cap’t Andy posts always seem to need a lot of photos!  Well, I am not stopping now! Cap’t Rick, our Skipper on this voyage, was having his birthday cruise.  So his wife came along for the ride.  They spend two weeks every winter in Big Fork on Flathead Lake. (All Canon 7D) He […]

Day 348: Cap’t Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruise, Part 4

Tuesday, December 3, 2013

Another pair of Boobies! (Canon 7D unless other is indicated) One of the big problems in Hawai’i, besides the pigs, chickens, mongooses, rats, and so on, is goats. See him?  Right there! And the water is always breaking along the shore… There was a trail maintenance party working up the hillside. They are all volunteer […]

Day 347: The Brown Booby on the Cruise! Part 3

Monday, December 2, 2013

We passed through an area along the Na Pali Coast where the Brown Booby lives.  These seem to be two males. (Canon 7D, 70-300 L) Males have gray beaks.  Females have yellow ones. They were nice enough to fly pretty close to the boat! All of the photos other than the first, last and overhead […]

Day 346: Cap’n Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruise! Part 2

Sunday, December 1, 2013

A Canadian with a Tri-Corner Hat…hmmm… (All 7D unless noted!) A neat and tidy knot. Well, it is a sailboat. (PL-2) The well equipped and dashing whale watcher. (PL-2) A notable lack of whales, however.  It is the very beginning of the season for them in Hawai’i, and only a couple had been seen so […]

Day 345: Cap’n Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruise! Part 1

Sunday, December 1, 2013

We went on Cap’t Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruise again because we liked it so well last year.  It was a beautiful day, although the wind was a bit contrary, and we didn’t get to sail as much as previously.  We ate lunch at a little place recommended by a friend of the Dailylife Wife, which […]

Day 344: 21 November

Sunday, November 24, 2013

We went back down to Captain Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruise on the South Shore, and on the way we stopped at the Spouting Horn again.  The breaking water here is just waves hitting the shore. (Canon 7D) The Spouting Horn is a lava tube in the shore rocks.  When the waves hit it the water […]

Day 343: 20 November…

Friday, November 22, 2013

We took the 20th easy.  The Dailylife Wife wasn’t feeling too good, and the weather was not real good, so we took it easy.  It is a vacation, after all!   We were shocked when we got up on the 21st to find neither of us had taken any photos…   So here few from […]

Day 342: 19 November…Turtles!

Friday, November 22, 2013

While down at the Queen’s Bath we saw quite a few sea turtles. (Nikon P7100) They seem to like the surf. We were told they have a cave they lay eggs in under here. They bob up and then go back down. The color is right, but the shape is wrong…hmmm… It is a pretty […]

Day 341: 19 November, the Queen’s Bath

Thursday, November 21, 2013

I had wanted to go see the Queen’s Bath since I heard about it last year.  It is ill marked and bad trail.  Maybe they do that to keep those that go see it the ones that really want to. (Nikon P7100) It is a pretty trail, by and large, but I didn’t get any […]
