There are signs asserting that fishing is prohibited in Kawaihae Harbor. This fisherman could argue he’s not in the harbor, but on the edge of it. However, since walking along the harbor breakwater is also prohibited, he’d still likely be in trouble. A lot of potential drama for what was a very tranquil scene, with Pu’u Wa’awa’a and Hualalai in the background!

On my way to work one morning, I had to stop and take photos of these unusual cloud formations along the South Kohala coast. I haven’t seen the likes of this before or since.
Recently, these two yachts were anchored off Mauna Kea Resort. I couldn’t make out the name of the blue boat but the other one is the Anawa, a Dutch built superyacht owned by a Brazilian billionaire. I confess my first thought on seeing this yacht was that it might be the ugliest boat I’d ever seen. Perhaps it was the angle. Perhaps not.
A low pressure system northwest of Hawaii has drawn up a tropical moisture from the south, resulting in some wild weather, including much needed rain. Some of the cloud formations have been pretty impressive, too.

On my way to work recently, this sunrise promised much, then faded, then regrouped with this vibrant display. Mauna Loa and Hualalai provide the backdrop.
When the weather’s decent, Kohala Mountain Road offers some great views of the west side of the island. This one is of the South Kohala coast towards Hualalai. Kawaihae Harbor is on the right of the photo.
A small boat leaves Kawaihae Small Boat Harbor early in the morning. It was likely headed out on a fishing expedition. I don’t know how they fared, but it was a fine start to the day regardless.
